FRAMES ~ From The Archives 1968: JC Penney construction, parking lot opens with fanfare, woman wins TV set and MORE!

Here are a few more images from a box of 1968-1969 negatives by the photo staff of the Bremerton Sun:

***Remember, the only information I have on these images is what is written on the negative sleeve which is then typed in beneath the photos seen below.

A few images found:

  • USS Sacramento sails through the Hood Canal Bridge.
  • Construction of the JC Penney building in downtown Bremerton.
  • Images from a parking lot opening in downtown Bremerton with a whole lot of fanfare (okay fine just balloons but that’s a lot of balloons for a parking lot opening) which makes me think that parking in downtown was as big of a deal back then and it is now.
  • Local royalty signing the cast of a wounded serviceman at Naval Hospital.
  • A local woman wins a new tv set.
  • A “prowling” cow is captured
  • Trio of youngsters show-off a six-legged frog

***I also feel the need to put small plea on this post because of some slightly unscrupulous re-postings – if you are going to share these photos around social media and what not (which is totally fine) PLEASE credit the Kitsap Sun. These are our old but still copyrighted images and it is important to note that they are credited to us. ***
