2. Brooklyn-Ave-FM-MEANY–dist-survey-WEB

Along with Fringies and Hippies, Urban Renewal – or studies and plans for such – came to the University District. This slide came to me from the district’s then acting mayor, Cal McCune, a tall, broad-shouldered, thoughtful friend. It was part of a survey of the district concerned primarily with its parking. The view looks north on Brooklyn Ave. from the Meany Hotel and shows in the foreground the “residents” to the sides of 47th and Brookllyn, including the cleaners, the two service stations and the Episcopalians. University Heights school is above-center.
