Description
Aerial
view
,
looking
east
, of
downtown
Kalamazoo
,
Michigan
. The
streets
visible
in the
image
are:
Burdick
Street
(running
from the
left
center
edge
to the
lower

left
center
edge
to the
upper
right
corner)
and
South
Street
(running
from the
bottom
center
edge
to the
top
center
edge)
. This
image
presents
a
unique
challenge
due
to the
large
number
of
buildings
and
individual
businesses
represented
so
only
a
brief
overview
will be
possible
here. The
Gilmore
Brothers
parking
lot
is
located
in the
center
of the
image
and as of
2006
it
is
being
redeveloped
into a
theater
complex
slated
to
open
in
late
2006
. The
small
structure
standing
in the
northwest
corner
of the
lot
is
Ken
Harvey's
Standard
Service
Station-188
Portage
Street
(demolished)
while
the
two
large
structures
standing
to the
north
(left)
of the
service
station
are the
Columbia
Hotel-162
Portage
Street
(demolished)
and the
Midway
Hotel-150
Portage
Street
(demolished)
.
Moving
to the
east
side
of
Portage
Street
(buildings
facing
the
camera)
all
of these
structures
with the
exception
of the
building
located
on the
southeast
corner
of
Michigan
Avenue
and
Portage
Street
(far
left)
and the
two
located
on the
northeast
corner
of
South
Street
and
Portage
Street
(far
right)
have been
demolished
. The
large
multistoried
building
standing
near
the
center
bottom
edge
is
the
Park
Building
or
Pythian
Building
located
at
130-134
South
Street
(demolished
2006
to
make
way
for a
new
business
complex)
. The
buildings
located
on the
southeast
corner
of
Burdick
Street
and
South
Street
near
the
lower
right
corner
are the
Peck
Building-309
South
Burdick
(demolished)
.
Immediately
to the
rear
(west)
of the
Peck
Building
stand
a
series
of
structures
along
the
south
side
of
South
Street
.
All
of these
buildings
have been
demolished
to
make
way
for a
parking
structure
.
Most
of the
other
buildings
visible
in the
image
remain
standing
.
