The appearances of Berry Street and University Drive are as opposite as their paths. On University Drive from Interstate 30 south to its intersection with Berry Street, the rolling hills of the curving road are lined with old trees.

Empty buildings dot both sides of the street.
Those that formerly housed the Family Christian Bookstore, Video Update, Blockbuster Music, Berry Street Grill and the Back Porch restaurant now stand vacant as businesses go bankrupt or their owners look for more suitable locations.
