Main Street in Montrose
This view of Main Street in Montrose is looking toward the
west. Two blocks ahead is
the main intersection in town (Main and Townsend), with State highway
550 to the left and U.S. highway 50 (which you are on) turning to the
right. The brick inlaid islands that you see in the foreground were part of
a recent street beautification program. The picture was taken in February of
1996. In the past few months the city has re-built this main street islands
with a new addition of plants and trees. This gave main street a whole new
look. The new development took place in August 2003 - October 2003.
