Centre Street is bustling in this 1967 photo taken near Burroughs Street in the heart of the business district. The thriving businesses that can be seen are the Jamaica Bowling Alley, the Galway House Restaurant, Sparkle Cleaners, Jax Discount Store, Harry’s Hardware Store, Hanlon’s Shoes, Roger’s Drug Store, and the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank with its ever present clock. A billboard displaying a brand new 1968 Chevrolet can be seen on top of the bowling alley building.
