Description

"New Orleans downtown street, Louisiana" c. December 1935.

View shows Canal Street from near the foot, at Front Street on the lower side of Canal, looking away from the River. Abundant business signs are on the block, with that for Sun Coffee Shop closest, the business being on the corner at the right. The pole marking a barber shop is just beyond. Other signs seen include "Oriental Laundry -- Not in the Trust" and restaurants with ads for Regal Beer and Luzianne Coffee. In full resolution version, chalk board menus on street can be read; note the prices are in cents.
Date LOC site says "Dec 1935".
