By the 1950's, when I could remember this joint in the basement of a corner row house, the sign outside at 1822 North 59th St. read "Nassau Inn". On the side of the building, at 5900 West Nassau St., was the "Ladies' Entrance". The City's sign on the street corner read Nassau St., but the white on blue enamel sign on the corner of the building read Nassau Rd. Were you or your father the Joe Kelly who lived across the alley from me at 1707 North Redfield St.? I grew up at 1708 North 59th St., 1 block from the business at 1822 North 59th St., corner of Nassau St. Was your father's restaurant in Philadelphia "Kelley's on Mole St.", or one of the other Kelley's seafood eateries in the City? There was another on 12th St., near Reading Terminal.

That brilliant sign "No political or religious discussion" (posted over the potato chip rack) should be required in every home and building on the planet. It just might be the answer to peace on earth. Also with three bartenders and two customers, the service here had to be excellent. I'm such a sport, I'd be happy to buy drinks for everyone in the bar. Great picture.
