W. Woodlawn Ave looking toward the intersection of Southern Parkway and Kenwood Way.
Alex beat me to it. I always remember a sign for “The Tangerine Room” somewhere in here, but I have no idea what that was (or is). The gazebo in the top left of the picture gave it away.
Finally recognized one easily and…Dang!
Was the Tangerine the restaurant the had the “Worst food in town”?
Sunergos on Woodlawn
This is the Hart Gallery antique store next to the true barber shop. Across the street is Annies Cafe,(best Vietnamese food),Berkley Jewelers. Also is a new Hispanic (Cuban?) grocery store – I haven’t been in there yet. Across the alley from the barber shop is the Woodlawn Post Office that is to close this coming January 2011
