This November 1953 photo taken on a well-known street in Chattanooga recalls a time when it was a bustling business and restaurant corridor with a cluster of service stations.
The image is from the files of the former Chattanooga News-Free Press and was taken by photographer Bob Sherrill.
Judging from the stopped traffic and presence of a Chattanooga police patrol car, it appears there had been a fender-bender, although no matching newspaper article on the matter was found for that month.

The location is the 1600 block of McCallie Avenue, at the intersection of McCallie with Holly Street. The photo was taken facing east, heading away from downtown.
