Throwback Thursday: SOM Center Road Circa 1950

SOLON, OH - As part of an ongoing feature, Patch is partnering with the Solon Historical Society to bring you a weekly look into the city's past. This is the third installment of the series.

This week's image is an aerial photo of the Aurora Road and SOM Center intersection circa the 1950s. Notice all the empty space all around the buildings compared to what is there now. Feel free to share any thoughts or memories that the photo evoked on the Patch Facebook page, or in the comments below.
