Many businesses are visible, ranging from 'Canton Cafe' serving noodles and chop suey, an auto parts store, a plumber, a Savings and loan, the law office of E. B. and Thomas Tongue, Jr. (on the second floor of the B and T Market corner building), and a furniture store. A 'Piggly Wiggly' Grocery store is just visible in the far left of the image.
