For the Birmingham people: Which cafeteria did you prefer for lunch?
This has always been the walking dog in Bham…

Yep. Might have to go today!

I used to go to Nikki’s too!
There were 2 locations, one by the farmers market and one around third avenue or second.
Both were great.

Great pics of Ponchartrain and the lakefront. Thanks! Where did you find those?
I'm a big history buff, and am a member of several online & Facebook groups that deal with local history. A few years back I started saving photos that I came across online into digital files -- one for New Orleans, one for Jefferson Parish, and one for the Gulf Coast, and continue to collect them.
Here's another couple of aerial photos pertinent to the OP-- both at the mouth of the New Basin Canal that shows the remnant of the military hospital complex that was where the Lake Shore neighborhood is today. The first was taken when the old Southern Yacht Club building was under construction, the second when the SYC building had just been completed. You can see the New Basin Canal still stretches some distance in from the Lake.

Anyone else remember going to K-Marr with your mom and getting to eat lunch in the cafeteria in the back?
Oh, hell yeah! Food wasn't bad either. (At least not to a really young kid under the age of ten at the time.) Up in eastern Kentucky there were other department/discount stores that had this set up as well. There was Grant's, G.C.Murphy's, and Woolco. All of 'em were awesome when we were kids. And then the malls came along and destroyed downtown shopping.

Nice! Thanks. The Middleton library has some great old photos.

Might be about $1 million in Garands in today’s market.

Pacific Coast Highway, 1920s
It now looks like this again due to the fires, 100 years later.
