This great photo has run before, but I cannot recall the details. I believe Joe Bilby sent it in, so I'll ask him for the dope on it. It is an uplifting image that I believe sends a positive message to our youth.

John, I remember the last time you ran this photo someone noted that all the men were very slim, NO BEER BELLIES!

Thanks, Doris. I did a search for "beer bellies" and found this caption from last August:

From the Library of Congress via the Bilby Archive comes this stirring image. Says Joe: "This is a picture circa 1930, of labor Union members marching to repeal Prohibition down Broad St in Newark."

ARE YOU SURE

John, Thanks for straightning me out about this picture. At first glance I thought it was the crew from the old neighborhood marching into Cryan's for the first friday get together.

OF COURSE THEY HAD NO BEER BELLIES

DORIS, The reason the men in this picture had no beer bellies is because they had no beer to drink.

Looks like a picture outside of our favorite Sussex Avenue tavern that featured a 17 year old bartender.
