1980 Pic From Parker Street Looking At The State Fish Pier

Thanks To Frank Ciolino for these old pictures.

This picture is taken from where the Pigeon Cove Whole Foods/ Montagnino Building  is looking from the inner harbor outwards.   Note the broken down piers and abandoned boat.

Can you guess what is going to be in this space in the updated picture coming at 8:00AM

Note the number of boats and size of the fishing boats tied 4 abreast at the State Fish Pier.  In Harbor Cove they say you could walk across the cove by hopping from boat to boat and almost get to the other side.  Now most fishing boats have their own berth and don’t have another boat tied up next to them even though the average size boat in our fleet is probably half of what it was back then.

I had forgotten all about the seafood store that was located where Lee’s is now.  What else can you see that is different from the recent picture?

There are more.  I’ll keep posting these comparison photo’s till I’m all out throughout the next couple of weeks.

Look for the updated view in an hour in the next post.  This picture was taken right around 1980.  In the picture coming at 8:00AM see if you can point out the differences
