Fresh Roasted Peanuts

I miss downtown. I worked at a few ad agencies down there and loved hanging around midtown at noon. This photo from the mid seventies looks pretty bleak in black and white but it was quite lively and a lot more interesting than it is now. Can we get that Inner Loop filled in and just start over?

  1. This is NOT 1976. This is more like late 1980’s early 1990’s. Dixie Wigs replaced the Peanut Shop like around 1989. Also, the billboard add above the corner is referencing the MAX radio station, whihc I believe was started in early 1990’s
