This photo from ACR Appliance owner Don Albershardt was taken northeast of the 52nd and College Avenue intersection, looking to the southwest. It was taken to document the purchase of a new 1958 Plymouth, but as often happens in an old photo, it captures the surroundings at the same time.

In the background is a bakery, a market, the Red Key Tavern, and a hardware store with a Pittsburgh Paints sign.

According to the city directory at this time the following stores were there:

• 5162 Rapistan of Ind Inc conveyors
• 5164 Pastry Pantry Bakery
• 5168 Blake's Friendly Family Food Mkt
• 5170 Red Key Tavern
• 5172 Fifty Second & College Hdw
