Cruisin' 605

We are creating a collection of old photos for an archive of the 605 area with quick descriptions and back stories on most of them.  I will be looking for the club’s input and old photo stock.  I will need the photos in a .jpg format or similar, if you need help, just let me know and I will see what we can work out.     Send the info to Mark

Remember these days. Make comments in the forum at he bottom of the page. Click on the picture for more photos.

The first fast-food restaurant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to serve french fries
