PHOENIX — If you're anything like me, you've probably got the '80s on your mind thanks to the recent release of season 4 of the popular Netflix hit, "Stranger Things."
From the far-out neon fashion to the catchy Kate Bush song that is currently stuck in my head, I can't seem to get enough of the decade. And thanks to the City of Phoenix Facebook page, we get to see a little of what Phoenix looked like more than four decades ago.
Well, a street, anyways.
On Monday, the city shared a black and white photo from 1981 of 32nd Street looking south from Lincoln. It's a great shot of the busy roadway.
In the photo, you can see how the road goes down into the foothills of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. According to the post, the photo was shared by Steve Schumacher.
There's definitely not as much vegetation in that same spot today as there was back then. But it's still very much a big part of Phoenix's busy roadways.
