:Hmm, I'm not sure. If it's looking east, what which road is which? The intersecting streets don't look like anything around that area, which is laid out in a pretty tight grid. My guess is that this is the area where Mobile Hwy, New Warrington Rd, and Lillian Highway all come together, and that the street veering off to the right is Old Corry Field Road if it used to connect directly to Mobile Hwy (now the front of the K-Mart parking lot). But I don't know for sure either. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 15:44, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, how stupid of me. I didn't even see "looking east". I thought it was looking WEST, and that the road veering off was Mobile Highway, the smaller road continuing straight was Cervantes, and the intersecting left-to-right road was W Street. Looking east. HRM! '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 16:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it's a tough one. Honestly, it looks more like East Pensacola Heights to me, but maybe that's just because Brownsville is a concrete wasteland these days. Could it be looking ''south'', where Cervantes veers right and Chipley Ave continues straight? <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 17:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
::::That wouldn't explain the cross street. There's no street perpendicular to Scenic/Cervantes at that point. '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 17:49, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yes, that's true. I don't think it could be looking west where Cervantes branches off into Mobile Highway, though, because then the cross-street would be V Street, and by 1954 we should be able to see the Brownsville Restaurant on the left. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 11:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:::::::I'm pretty sure this is the intersection of Cervantes and 15th Avenue; check this old map from 1952 [http://fcit.usf.edu/florida/maps/pages/3000/f3072/f3072.htm]. Note the diagonal section of road, which is where Andalusia Square is now. --[[User:Tally|Tally]] 07:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Ah ha! I think you may be right, my friend! '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 12:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
