Looking south on Boundary Avenue
What year? The cars look like late 50's. That doesn't look like the rink that burnt in 1977.

A message from Ted Cardwell about the picture.
From 1940-46 I lived in the house with the car in front of it on the street to the far left as you face the picture. The truck belonged to my uncle Alvin Seymour, and the car probably to Margaret Seymour (later married to Sham Regan who lived on the Fort San road across from PCTC. The white two story building to the south of the cars bordering on main street at one time was the home to a very good painter by the name of Marion Hamilton. Next to that building I think was Vic Box's garage on the south side of the street. The house prominent on the north end of the street to the left (now called Pasqua?) was Reekie's. Bill Seymour lives here in Saskatoon and would have a good idea of dates. His dad and our grandfather started Seymours Meat Market and Locker Plan. It seems to me that Reekie's expanded their store to fill up the space between them and McLeod's hardware to the east. Neidermyers ran the restaurant to the west of Reekie's store. My guess is the mid fifties for the picture.

What a great picture. Dad's butcher shop, Reekie's store, McLeod's Hardware, Valley Cafe, WOW!!! I remember going to school from my house (just where Ted said my dad's truck was) down the back alley by Savages, across Gabriel's bulk fuel station, down main street by Saunders, Hansen Hardware, Hancock's dentist office(which I feared), by the Post Office/ Police Station, cross the street, another back alley and then onto the school yard. 12 years of that...I loved this picture and going back to look at that time. Mom and Dad, Richard Morris, Andrew Goffinet and Norman and Rody McLeod. I loved my youth.
