Romo's
Romo's chain stores was in the North End. I was hoping to find some information on Meyer's meat market but there isn't much on a location in Boston
Salem
Salem Street
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=boston&hl=en&ll=42....
Romo is Moda, Meyers Meat is Going Bananas, Willie's is Shake the Tree, Salem Wholesale Supply Co. is Ernesto's, and way at the end of the street the building with the vertical 3 story sign is Bacco
Nice!
Wow, that's awesome, but Going Banana's moved across the street last year (or maybe the year before), so isn't on that side of the street anymore. And Moda hasn't been in that spot for a few years and is now Lulu's.
thanks for the update, i

Just a guess, from the hairstyles, clothing, etc. - 1953?

I remember the days when
I remember the days when neither man or woman would ever think of going out without something on their head. In fact, I kind of miss the days of men wearing hats - not baseball caps. Except for those two suspicious looking characters in the picture, every woman has a scarf or hat and of course the men with hats.
the end of hats
Some people blame JFK, who habitually appeared hatless, for killing the fashion for men's hats. Others blame the 1950s trend for lower automobile rooflines. In any event, hats on men seems to have died out around the Mad Men era of the early 1960s.
Thanks for guessing,
Thanks for guessing, everyone! This is Salem Street on January 14, 1949
