Cofer Brother's, Lithonia, DeKalb County, Georgia.  Cofer Bro's was located at the corner of Main and Stone Mountain Streets.

Top: 1940s. Image dek339-85 from the Vanishing Georgia archives.

Bottom: April 2009.   You'll notice that Stone Mountain St., which runs off to the left in the top photo, is now part of an empty parking lot. Much of downtown Lithonia was demolished in the early 1970s to make way for a suburban-style shopping center which now is mostly empty and nearly derelict. Luckily the buildings on Main Street were spared.
