Here's another view from down the street (taken in front of the IGA store - 2 grocery stores on SGR in 1970!).

If you look up the street in this photo, you can see the IGA sign just to the left of the power pole:

Yeah was wondering if it had the same vibrancy as it does now back in then. It does look to have a very similar vibe to today based on these pics.
