Images of Mardi Gras Day:
1960's
These photos are as interesting for the background as they are for the floats
featured in them.  So many stores on Canal Street that - in the immortal words of
Benny Grunch and the Bunch - "ain't dere no more."
A couple of these remain, but for the most part, they only exist in our collective
memory:  McCrory's, Allen's, Bakers, Miller-Wohl, Woolworth's, Mayfair, W. T.
Grant, Burts, Marks Isaacs, Holmes, Lords, Rubenstein's, Imperial.
It's quite a stroll down memory lane.
