Posted December 20, 201311 yr Creepy preparations for a Christmas parade 1940s Train station 8/23/1966
December 20, 201311 yr E Main - kids thought this is where the name Buffalo Springfield came from uh - no The alley over by the arcade
December 25, 201311 yr Reco Sporting Goods - downtown Springfield Spring Street approach to the train station. When Spring Street went airborne, the station had to go Washington Street on the south side of the arcade
December 26, 201311 yr ^^It looks like the wings of the depot are demolished in your photo. Could that be the case?
December 26, 201311 yr ^^It looks like the wings of the depot are demolished in your photo. Could that be the case? Dunno, could be, looks like there's a barricade down there.
February 26, 201411 yr There was a flood in Springfield 2/25/29 At the IH plant on Lagonda Fountain & High Clean up @ Fountain and High

February 26, 201411 yr Springfield still has a ton of great architecture--particularily in their residential historic districts--but it is incredible how much they lost downtown.
February 27, 201411 yr Wow, what a concept! I never really cared for what Springfield did with the core block they did redevelop, but things turned out better than this 1971 proposal. Would this have been before or after Upper Valley Mall opened?
March 25, 201411 yr Jim's - he and his old lady bickered constantly. It was a trip. This is a FaceBook video about the place. Well, an audio with a static picture.
May 1, 201411 yr Wow. How sad. Woolworth built a number of buildings with the same Art Deco design around the country.
May 1, 201411 yr That's what I thought ALL Woolworths looked like. Now, in Cincinnati, I'm finding out they had all sorts of smaller storefronts. I think I stole Jimi Hendrix' Band of Gypsies album from this store.
June 7, 201411 yr I just makes you want to break out singing "Downtown"! oh wait, the building in the middle is gone now, too... and the building on the left...
June 9, 201411 yr ^Every building except the old city hall/market (renovated) and Techumseh (vacant) are demolished.
June 19, 201410 yr You were probably wondering about the connection between Buffalo Bill & Springfield's Champion mortuary supply company...
