ca. 1970. This is how South 38th St. looking west appeared circa 1970. Yakima Ave. is at the bottom of the photograph. Identified businesses (from left) on Yakima are the Brad Bannon Insurance Co. (3808 Yakima) and the Oroweat Bakers (3802 Yakima). The Arctic Circle Drive-In is nearby at 820 So. 38th St. Also facing 38th St. is the Hartman Furniture store at 803 So. 38th (across the street from Oroweat). On the same side of So. 38th St. as Hartman's but further west is Failor's Pharmacy. The area has had a thriving business district for several decades.
