jukejoint

A "jumpin" place on Sat night

If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).

wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!

Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.

Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

Those are kids -- I'm guessing this is just a grocery store.

The NEHI Soda sign brings up a few!!

Belle Glade, Florida

probably they worked on sugar plantations?

From Random House: "Juke joint (or jook joint) is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring blues music, dancing, and alcoholic drinks, primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United States. The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog, meaning rowdy or disorderly."

Great total picture! Very nice! The framing and composition of your photo are very good! Please add this nice photo to:

Reminds me of the bunkhouse in "Of Mice and Men"
