This was a fantastic way to showcase our city's history to visiting friends and learn so much fascinating history at the same time. It was grear to learn the stories behind so many familiar local names.
Definitely a place locals should spend some time exploring.
The volunteers are so friendly and I really appreciated being shown the interactive map display of photos from then and now.
