Here's a fun photo from about 1971-72. Taken by a railroad enthusiast obviously, it shows many details of the era at the intersection of Fourth and Racine Streets. You can see the lights from the old Menasha ball park to the left above the trees and Dave's Burger Shanty at the left. And what appears to be two St. Mary's students walking back to school, presumably after having their lunch at Dave's, who touts a 20 cent burger price. The yellow car (Chevrolet Chevelle?) parked in the lot (yes, that's a parking lot) shows the early 70's era yellow block cheese license plate.
