I was wondering what store this was. Ironically, I kinda knew it was probably Washington Street Grocery. It looks a little different now, 74 years later, but men still to this day sit outside.

This is now the Washington Street supermarket. Not that much different today. No kidding!

i got curious about those torn posters on the wall so i googled it. "silas green from new orleans" was a minstrel show that toured from 1905 to 1957.
you can get prints of one of their posters here.
