The building in back with all the flagpoles is Hahne's. The featured Loft's corner was at Broad and West Park. It is now Prudential Drive. Schrafft's and Hearn's/Klein's would be in the foreground (not seen). Google 677 Broad Street and you'll see the "new" picture.

Memories

This was about 17 years before I was born (1947). I lived in Newark until I was 27 and may have passed this candy store/soda fountain many times. I wish I could see what the intersection was, so I could place it more accurately. It may be the one at Broad and Market Streets. That would put it in the center of downtown Newark.

Rare shades of human hair a specialty!

This is a very interesting photo, for the hair shop alone. Those are pretty classy cabs! I wonder what it cost to ride in the back one?
