Wow - here's a cool look back at Saluda's Main Street from the '60s! π πΈ Looks familiar, doesn't it? Because of this, the National Register of Historic Places recognized the tiny downtown as a historic district in 1996. These buildings are still greeting people - filled with restaurants and shops that bring Main Street to life. See for yourself... firstpeaknc.com/saluda-nc-blue-ridge-mountains/Downtown Saluda in the 1960s, from historicsaluda.org (click through from link in bio). What do you notice thatβs different from today? (Aside from the vehicles π) NOTE: The majority of shops and businesses are following recommended protocols to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. We ask everyone to do their part in keeping locals and visitors alike safe at this time. Weβre going to get through this, together! #saludanc #downtownsaluda #mainstreetusa #saluda1960s #blueridgemountains #828isgreat #saluda #visitnc #northcarolinahistory #saludahistory #historicsaluda #historicsaludanc #spotthedifference
