Third Street in Alexandria has been the main, central thoroughfare for decades. We can't make that drive down the street like we did in 1955 ... but here's an idea of what it was like!
Shown below are several images of what the street looked like. We've also indicated some of the businesses, movie theaters and stores that were visible in these shots.
