Uptown Images Circa 1979
Ongoing Exhibit
These photos, by an unknown photographer, document a moment in Uptown’s history that is lost to time and the evolving nature of the city. We see shop proprietors proudly serving their community and people out and about in the neighborhood. Although fashions have changed in 30 years, these photos show Uptown’s essence continues to be fundamentally a result of its residents.
