Downtown Union City in the early 1950's

This is how I remember the Union City that I grew up in, during the 1950's. All of the buildings occupied and thriving ...days before the Meijer Stores and Wal-Marts. Where people bought their groceries, cars, televisions, hardware, cloths, and etc. in Union City.
