In this 1958 photo, we're looking northwest along Marietta Street toward its intersection with Northside Drive, which is not visible and is about two blocks up the road.  The street intersecting on the left is Bankhead Avenue; this is just a little east of the derelict and abandoned bridge that used to span the railroad tracks and connect Marietta and Bankhead.  You can scroll down a bit to see a recent photo of the bridge's remnants.  Top photo courtesy of the Georgia State University Library Archives (File #LBGPNS7-133c).    Google map

It's almost unbelievable to see all the businesses that used to line this stretch of Marietta Street.  Among them were a drug store, a hotel, a storage/cleaning establishment (that's the still-standing formerly white building a little left of center)
, a grocery store, a furniture store, a shoe store, a kiddie store and a movie theater among others.
