Hi Angie!

EDR has been doing work on city directories for years now. I used to (kind
of) work for them, but as it's been a while, I don't know what cities they
are up to now. This is their web address:

http://www.edrnet.com

Unfortunately, their info isn't free, but they may have some kind
student-ish rate through libraries. I don't know... I think some libraries
may have subscriptions to their Sanborn maps (they own the Sanborn Map
company) for their students to use. Not being a librarian, I could be wrong!

best,
