A photograph of the corner of Pitt and Ninth Streets looking north about 1969. The main CNR railway line crossed Ninth Street marked by flashing lights. Benny’s Corner Store served a wide area with magazines, comics, newspapers, candy, and pop. Gas stations on facing corners were common.

Memory Shared: I remember taking 640 films from my Kodak Hawkeye camera to Benny’s to be developed. It would take a week to come back and the old joke of Christmas, Easter, and summer wedding photos on one film–was true!
