Title	2002-N-0525 Center of Portage, Michigan
Subject	Cityscapes Churches Banks Grocery Stores
Description	Aerial view, looking towards the northeast, of the center of Portage, Michigan. South Westnedge Avenue runs from the top left corner to the bottom right while Centre Avenue runs from the top right corner to the bottom left. Near the top left corner is the First Reformed Church of Portage, 7905 South Westnedge, prior to the construction of the school wing in late 1967. On the northeast corner of South Westnedge and Centre Avenue stands the brand new Industrial State Bank, Portage Branch at 7937 South Westnedge Avenue. Across the street and blocked from sight by the trees is the W.T.P.S. Radio Station located on the northwest corner of South Westnedge and Centre Avenue at 7942 South Westnedge. The large building on the southeast corner of South Westnedge and Centre Avenue is the Wolber's Shopping Center located at 106 East Centre Avenue. As of 2006, the First Reformed Church remains with slight modifications. The Industrial State Bank, now called COMERICA, remains with extensive modifications. Wolber's Shopping Center closed months after this picture was taken and was demolished the following year (1968). Today, a muffler repair shop occupies the corner. The tree covered area on the northwest corner including the radio station has been converted into the Portage City Hall which occupies the entire block.
