In in the 50's/60's and 70s' you had people working at Exxon and Downtown so North BR was it, then everything starting developing towards the South in the late 60s/early 70's..what is present day Acadian, College, Perkins, all the way to Siegen, etc. People wanted to go where the new stuff was, some enjoyed taking over previous space that became less desirable. I wasn't born until the the 80s, that's all I've got.

Development on Siegen is much more recent. I was born in 1979 and Siegen was still a gravel road between Perkins and Highland when I was a kid. There was almost nothing on Siegen until the old movie theater was built and then later the North Mall shopping center with the bridge over the train tracks.
