I found a very interesting article on a tiny bit of the history of the beautiful brick buildings that sit along the south side of Pershing road.

I think I need this framed.

Love it! Thanks!

It's very interesting to consider our area's past commerce and industry, and the new development and activity going on in the revitalizing manufacturing sector. All of the commercial/industrial spaces in McKinley Park are again filling up fast with tenants and usage. (All of the residential vacancies are getting filled in, too.)

Thanks again for sharing!

Here's another link that goes further into details of the past businesses in the McKinley area.

Does anyone have some links or resources to more old photos of the area?
