just found this on facebook. it's funny. i grew up near all 5 spots and none were there when i was a kid. besides steve's prince of steaks - the rest are much newer. people rave about steve's. i think it's steak'um. i said 20 times - best bacon cheese steak is from a little cart with a lady named Maria on the cross streets of 16th and between Market and Chestnut Streets. Great food.

 

It's bbq season, get the grille going with a homemade tomato salad on the side, I'll take a cold one with that too.

 

Not fishermen, lumberjacks, the owner of the photo was the grandson of one of those guys. The grandson was born in 1927, he died 10 years ago.

 

wow-that's a long life. that's when men were men and worked hard for a living and risked their lives to earn a paycheck.

 

I can take in so much from a photo, they used to call me the detective. All lumberjacks, from the same town back home.
They're all dressed up, back then they used to wear their finest suits on Sundays. This could also be a holiday like Easter or even a birthday. Also, nobody smiled for pictures back then and they had a rough life. The fashion gives you the time period, the prosthetic hand and the beer bottle all point to roughly 1885-90. They were called birds of passage, they would come over and work for several years leaving their famalies back home. Some would remain and call over their family, some would return home with some savings.

I had a friend one time that had a girlfriend attending Penn State. He was convinced she was cheating on him, so he called detective skinny to action. I devised a plot where I would go there and play the detective. To make a long story short , it involved me as a complete stranger, digging up info on her, as well as attempting to take her home to see if she would cheat.
My friend then changed his mind, I think he was getting a little jealous lol.

 

what prosthetic hand ? i went back to the photo and didn't see one. the pix above of the lumberjacks and your pix skinny is something like out of an old text book or movie. a different era and time we could only dream of, but many lived it.

i said it before - the famous gunman Wyatt Earp for a large part of his early life was around dusty dirty cities and to get around was by horse, train or buggy. Life was saloons, prostitutes and gun fights. In his later life and last 20 yrs of it, he was living in LA in the teens and 1920's! He saw paved streets, cars, planes, movies, the radio and technology that they would've killed for in the 1880's when he was fighting at the OK Corral. Hell the weaponry in WWI was so far advanced to when he was a lawman with a gun. Think about that culture shock?

Skinny-your pix is a part of that. Dressing up on Sundays is something out of Little House on the Prairie and working with your hands to make a living etc. It's awesome history!

 

skinny-so you didn't find anything on her bc he called it off? i would've dug anyways. girls can't be trusted! haha. and knowing you, you were probably the one she was cheating on him with. bwhahahahaha

 

The guy to the far left sitting down holding the bottle has a late 1800s prosthetic arm

 

That was a pretty funny time, about 25 years ago. We used to laugh at him, driving 6 hrs to see his girlfriend lol.

 

6 hrs? she better be Christy Brinkley to drive that far !

 

wow i didn't notice. even now it's hard to tell.

 

The first finger looks like a hockey stick.

 

oh now i see it. yeah that is kind of ugly.

Stay thirsty.

 

^^^ that great was great. The new one sucks. Just ice water for me.

 

I've never had one, the commercials are classic.

On the other hand, I think I might've had some in acapulco back in the 80's.

 

i never had it when i drank. i drank other swill.

i did work at a beer distributor yeas ago and corona and sierra madre would sell by the case on saturday mornings. i think every landscaper in Bensalem, Pa would come in at 9 am and fill up for the weekend after working 5 days in the brutal hot sun!

 

Beer cerveza bier birra piva

 

Dos Equis is not bad. I still like Tecate' for my cerveza choice.

 

they have a new commercial for Tecate with Sly Stallone. I didn't think people drank that swill. haha.
