this website also provides the link to an even BETTER website with loads of old photos of birmingham back in the day- includes pictures of theatres and department stores and amusment parks that no longer exist. be sure to read the memory section. i found the fact that cobb lane used to show outdoor silent films very interesting, as well as the descriptions of 'the enchanted forest' at pititz department store. oh! and sock hops at the boutwell auditorium!
