When Nathan Rosenfield brought Jacobson’s Department store to Birmingham in 1950 there was only one huge problem-shoppers didn’t have anywhere to park! Rosenfield would radically alter not just the shopping landscape forever but the urban planning one as well. This is the third episode in a limited series with the Birmingham Shopping district where we look at the evolution of Birmingham’s retail environment.
