Kodachrome #6
Parade, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
John Harris High School Color Guard - Parade, Harrisburg, PA. USA - Circa late 1940.
On the State St. Memorial bridge. John Harris High School color guard.
Note the steel works - backwards SIGN between smokestacks on the
left: Harrisburg Steel Corporation. The mills were under the bridge, as
were the railroad tracks leading to the downtown train station.
It was always exciting to walk across this bridge to the capitol grounds and downtown Harrisburg. In the middle of the bridge there was a stairway that went down one of the support columns. It was always blocked off and incredibly dark, mysterious, and CREEPY.
Bobby soxers to the right indicate late 1940s. Also NOTE the beautiful star & eagle streetlights.
From a Kodachrome color slide taken by my dad, Ross J. Care.

Kodachrome #2 circa early 1950s
Ross & Wags
Jonestown Road (old route 22), Paxtonia, Pennsylvania
About six miles east of Harrisburg. The building in the background was Miller's Feed Mill, suggesting the still rural nature of this area. Farmers still came in to buy their feed and bales of hay.
I'm standing on the parking area between our house and the mill. Those are Cub Scout trousers and a Space Ranger T-shirt.

Kodachrome #1 circa late 1940s/1950
Along old Route 22, about six miles east of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania circa 1950.
The area was still relatively undeveloped. Note the old barn across the road. Shortly the Harrisburg Drive-In would open about a half-mile east down the road from this spot. My family eventually moved to a house on old route 22, aka Jonestown Road, across the fields behind the barn.
