Dinosaurs at Roebuck Shopping City!
Birmingham, Alabama - March, 1967
In March of 1967, a traveling dinosaur display sponsored by the Sinclair Oil Corporation (the dinos were originally from the 1964 Worlds Fair), made a stop at Roebuck Shopping City, one of Birmingham's earliest shopping centers. And we have the pictures to prove it! (courtesy of Birmingham Rewound)
I'm not real up on Roebuck Shopping City, so I have no idea whether or not it's still there and all that other good stuff (or where those dinosaurs may have stomped off to). A quick cursory web search turned up little. Please comment if you know anything about this shopping center today, or what it's fate ultimately was. I'm just curious.
