- Wow...a service station (oil, grease and gas) over the area with the stream coming from pond behind it...is this is real? Could explain some of the problems with McGibbon property. Oil, grease and gas float and get caught up further down stream.

- See a ‘59 Chev and ‘59 Ford Station Wagon. The new cars came out in the fall. The pic could be late 1958 or the first part of 1959.
- ,the stream actually runs underneath the building (former Town Hall) to the south and is enclosed in a pipe. The stream opened up behind the buildings across the road for many years and was placed in pipe when the town built the parking area.
- this was when everything was down town and the Main Street really was the place to be —love Georgetown but mostly love the old Georgetown ❤️
- Loved Old the Old Town.
- In the 70's when Dad undermined the store to put in the warehouse, we hit water. Long story.
- I believe that is the Municipal Office between the White Rose Station and Wigo's. My Mom used to work in the Water Department there along with Mr. Benham (John Benham's Dad).
- And the Cop Shop was in the back down the Alley
