Aerial view of Carriage Square Shopping Center in 1976. Photo taken facing east. Thanks to Linda B. for lending me the publication with this aerial photo :) There are a lot of photos here I have found through the Press Courier archives so, you will have to click on the first photo in order to see all of 28 photos. See the 76 Gas Station on the corner? You can also see the go kart place behind the theatre complex. Many photos here of ads for businesses that were located in the Carriage Square at various times. I have included photos taken from a youtube video of Carriage Square before it was demolished. I will post the video for those interested. Thanks to Arthur Preston for the video. The business ads are as follows: Balloon Bouquet from 1990, Carriage Square Wine & Spirits from 1987, Farm Boy Restaurant 1982, Mels Kartland (go kart) 1969, Grannys Restaurant 1982, Home Furniture 1975, Loews Carriage Square Cinema 1975, Merle Norman 1977, Pizza Palace 1965, Sprouse-Reitz 1980, Stage Door 1978, Stefanos Hairstyling 1975, Tokyo Sukiyaki 1979. The list of businesses over the years include The Smorgasbord, Jim Salzers Record Shop, Safeway, Vons, Family Bargain Center, IHop, 31 Flavors, Masters Donuts, Wells Fargo (inside Vons), KFC, a gym which was located on the far end facing the post office, The Warehouse which later became Blockbuster Music, Auto Zone Auto Parts, a cleaners, dental office, Flores Brothers Karate Studio, Irish Pub before it became OBriens Pub, and whatever else I missed and I am sure you all can fill in the blanks. :)
