VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Hey pal, can ya hurry up I have a plane to catch.

 

Not gonna happen.

 

A far cry from the "Licensed Hotel"

 

Thank god there are people willing to work under those conditions.

 

I saw this with my own eyes. It was the day after the Great Columbus Day Storm in 1962 I was out riding my bike looking at the damage. This was 8 blocks from my home, the big sign on the Piggly Wiggly blew off taking with it a section of wall. The store never reopened but would later become a fabric store.

("Strange Brew" is one of my favorite movies!)
