HISTORY IN THE STREET - I drove through downtown Sudbury today and spied these potholes at the intersection of Elm and Lisgar Streets. They exposed a section of tracks from the former Sudbury Copper Cliff Street Railway. Sudbury's last street cars ran in either 1950 or 1951, and this section of Lisgar Street has obviously avoided any major road reconstruction for 75 plus years.
Looking South from Elm Street. You can see the outline of the railbed in the asphalt extending down Lisgar St. 2

New Sudbury Centre in the 1970s. It got much brighter with the skylights added in the 1980s (especially noticeable in the hallway between Centre Court and Woolco)
