The Try Street Sewer at Fifth Avenue, between Elm Street and Logan Street, looking northeast. Several local businesses are visible in the busy street scene including the Broadway Cloak and Suit Company, the Plaza Hotel, and the Dispatch.
Magee was never Logan. Logan didn't cross 5th ave. It went north, starting at 5th and ending at Bedford. Magee also didn't cross 5th. It started at 5th , a bit inbound from Logan, and went south to Bluff St. Elm, also didn't cross 5th. It started a bit inbound from Magee, but like Logan , went north to Bedford. Those "parking lot" streets you see on the map - Logan and Fullerton - were named , I guess, as a tribute to the two original ones. Both are further inbound than the originals. That little bit of Magee seen between 5th and Our Way did not exist. Solid stores lined north side of 5th between Elm and Logan. And a tiny bit of Logan (shown on the map) still exists ( BBQ place on corner of Logan/5th)
Elm Street is not on GMaps, but its street sign is still here in the picture. Logan St is now Magee St:
