VERY cool, indeed.
I worked on a dragger that dry-docked there in 1973, before it was discovered again.
Much of the old town and facilities were still there, barely.
Cold, exposed place in winter.

WENT TO GREENPORT TODAY WITH FRIENDS. MY BUDDY TOLD ME THAT HE SAW A COUPLE OF OLD PHOTOS ENLARGED AND PLACED IN THE STOREFRONT WINDOWS ON MAIN STREET FROM THE OLD DAYS. I WAS TRULY AMAZED WHEN I SAW THAT THE BUILDING ON THE S/W CORNER OF FRONT AND MAIN STREET WAS A BOHACK SUPER MARKET. I'D SAY THIS IS QUITE A RARE VIEW AS I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE......EVER....NOR HAD I EVER HEARD IT WAS A BOHACK.

FROM THE LOOKS OF THE CARS IN THIS FIRST "THEN" SHOT, I'D SAY CIRCA 1950....


IN THIS 2ND "THEN" SHOT CIRCA 1965, IT WAS MILLS CANVAS COMPANY WHICH I KINDA REMEMBER IT BEING AS A YOUNG LAD.

(MILLS IS STILL IN BUSINESS, JUST WEST OF TOWN ON ROUTE 25 NOW).

AND THE NOW SHOT 9.12.10......
