Larry Smith photo: Downtown Greensburg, KY in oil boom 2011-07-14 - Public Square, Greensburg, KY - Photo from Larry Smith. This photo from over a half-century ago is from the collection of Larry Smith, Operations Director for Shoreline Communications. "It's a scene from the late 1950's," he says, "and I was told it was taken during the oil boom, which probably explains all the late model cars and could explain the tail fin Cadillac Coupe de Ville in the photo. The Brown's Delicious Ice Cream sign is over Model Drugs, owned by Pharmacist Joe Rogers. Across the corner, was a chief competitor, Corner Drugs." Smith said that it's his understanding that the photo was taken from an upper floor at Woodson-Lewis, by a photorapher he's still trying to recollect. The scene is from before the time of his birth in Summersville, KY, a few miles north of this scene. The steps with the guardrail still there, and go down to the Greensburg Record-Herald and the cars along W. Court Street could be associated with that business or advertisers with the historic weekly publication. Names of those in the Happy Little Street Scenes were not available at time of posting, but identifications and other comments and clarifications are welcome. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
