The old Alabama street was named Lower Alabama Street and the new street created over the viaduct was named Upper Alabama Street. Businesses moved their shops to the upper level and the lower level was mostly neglected. In 1968 the area was declared a historic site and in 1969 Underground Atlanta opened in Lower Alabama Street as an entertainment district. The district was closed in 1980 due to rampant crime but revitalized and reopened in 1989.image/jpegVIS 99.436.01ahc099436001a.jpghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Bill Wilson Photographs, Atlanta History CenterCities and towns--GeorgiaStreets--Georgia--AtlantaConstruction--Georgia--AtlantaStores and shops--Georgia--AtlantaRailroad facilities--Georgia--AtlantaRailroads--Georgia--AtlantaGeorgia Railway CompanyGeorgia Railroad Freight Depot (Atlanta, Ga.)Alabama StreetStillImage
