Vintage Street Scenes of Old New Orleans
Carrollton Avenue:
Earhart to Tulane Avenue
I've divided Carrollton Avenue into 4 sections.  This is the second I've completed, the first page was devoted to the area between Oak Street & Earhart Avenue.  This page represents Earhart to, but not including, Tulane Ave.
Jim's Fried Chicken and Jerry's Fried Chicken restaurants, next door
to each other, near Palmetto Street, 1950; below, a closer look.
Continuing the chicken theme, Selby's Poultry Market,
1941; notice the Dr. Nut soft drink sign.
Waldo Burton Memorial Home for Boys, above, about 1930; below, today.
3600 block of S. Carrollton, strip mall with Kogos Bros. Seafood, Harry's Shoe Store, Tip Top Shoe Service, a laundromat and McKenzie's Bakery; above and directly below, about 1950; bottom photo, the site as it looks today.
The same shopping strip can be seen to the left in the photo below, with the sign on the right announcing that a new K&B Drugstore would soon be built.
3600 block, across the street from above, shopping square included Staurtz Sporting Goods, Morgan & Lindsey's and A&P foodstore; 1940's.
Photo above and two photos below, 3500 S. Carrollton:
Top, early 1940's; middle, late 1940's; bottom, today.
