On top: a high up shot of Euclid avenue intersecting with Coit rd. Highlighted were the new lines painted on the road to help manage traffic. Black and white shot from 1953, color shot 2020.
This little block of retail begins at 15501 and ends at 15545. Since it's nearly impossible to read the names of the businesses in the 1953 image, I tracked down old newspapers to figure out what stores would have been in the background.
