DOWNTOWN PARIS ~ c. 1955 |
| This aerial photo of downtown Paris, courtesy of Dan and Juanita Brooks, is believed to have been taken in 1955, judging from the newest cars that could be identified. In the foreground are Fentress Street, angling off at lower left, and Blythe Street, angling up on the right.
