Pull In for Pepsi: 1941
March 1941. "Four o'clock traffic. Norfolk, Virginia." Medium format acetate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
You CAN have it both ways
One establishment serving both Coke and Pepsi? This is truly a bygone era.
Spell binding
Thanks to Kines and Dave on the spelling of Old Timy -- as opposed to Tiny. To be honest I thought I saw an M as opposed to an N but the word "Timy" would not register. Guess I'm a traditionalist.
Almost too Tiny to tell, but
Does the sign maybe say "Old Timy" library? More commonly spelled "timey" these days?
[Yes! - Dave]
Granby Street
After reviewing this photo for a while, and taking into account this is afternoon traffic, I have to think that this is a photo of Granby Street just south of where it crosses the Lafayette River. The cars are probably returning from shifts at the Norfolk Naval Yard I am wagering.
Old Tiny Library
There are other words -- in cursive -- on the sign, but I can't make them out, so I'll just say I want to visit the Old Tiny Library and buy a few gifts, then go to the cafe for dinner (lunch) of a sandwich, with what my stepdad used to call a "Coke-Cola."
Breakfast,
Dinner, Supper, that's what we called them, now everyone calls "supper" dinner.
[And "dinner" is lunch. - Dave]
