Scope and content
ca. 1951. Tacoma's Broadway in 1951 was a bustling, busy location. The Sears, Roebuck store was a major cornerstone on 11th and Broadway. It had recently opened a free parking lot for customers to alleviate parking congestion. Tacomans could also view a movie at the Blue Mouse theatre, spruce up their homes with supplies from Johnson Paint & Wallpaper, have their hair done at the Modern Beauty Academy, or fill their prescriptions at Savon or Smith Drug Stores. Those seeking to quench their thirst could visit the Happy Days tavern or Pat & Mike's. View of Broadway looking northward. TPL-1449
