Another Friday, and another week over. Today’s photo is part of a series of photos all marked “Gambling” on the back, and all dated February 28, 1948. This one shows the store front of Du Barry Frocks at 55 London St (today University W.)
A sign of the times on the front door. “The Army Needs Men”, left over from WWII?
Here’s the same location today. Not surprising, as it is Windsor, the building is long gone.

Seattle should be used as a model for change. It is one of the most dynamic cities in North America. Modern, yet still keeps its old world charm intact. It is soooo cool to see and visit the pubs and reteraunts from early 1900's yet, be in a big modern city. They did it right
Joe, I agree on Seattle. What a beautiful city. The streets were SO CLEAN, too. I went to an old Speakeasy called Bathtub Gin. It was tiny, and the entrance was in the alley, and the bartender was a true mix-master. He was originally from Michigan, actually. He didn't pour liquor & mixer and serve it, he made real drinks with complicated recipes. It was really impressive.
The "Morality Squad" sounds like an early version of the Vice Squad.
