This photo from the Birmingham Public Library Digital Collections shows a portion of 2nd Avenue North between 19th and 20th Streets around 1930. Visible are Kress's, the Trianon Theatre, F.W. Woolworth and on the right Caheen Brothers. In the lower left is apparently the sign for a dentist. Aren't those cars and streetlamps wonderful?
