Scope and content
This photograph of the corner of 6th Avenue and Pine was taken in November of 1941 shortly after the street was partially straightened, eliminating a sharp jog in the road at that corner. The businesses at the corner included: Casey's Tavern at 2810 6th Ave., now Cafe dei Pani; Aplling's Hardware, 2815 6th Ave. and Winfield's Bakery, 2813 6th Ave., now both incorporated into Ricardo's restaurant; and the recently built Safeway grocery store at 608 N. Pine (partially hidden by Appling's), now Schuck's Auto Supply.
