Why do they have cars that were at least 13-years old in 1971 parked in front?
Merry Christmas

Not sure.  The picture was 13 years old when they placed his photo on it?

Good morning this is Monday I wrote
to you Friday it was so rainy did not
get it to the box  Will write a letter
next time  I am well arrived home
all O.K.  I got to the street car line just
in time to catch a car without waiting
I met Lou Mcilhiney in the sub-
way  She had been to Chicago to visit
her two half sisters  We came together
She called ab to come after her &
Mose came in with her farm wagon
We was waiting but I rode out with Lou
the sick here are all better but not just
well yet they are up
Mary is taking medicine  She is doing
most of her work} How is your baby
ans.
Minerva

I think she saved some space by not using periods.  :D

I was curious if it was still in existence.  Turns out The Old Original Bookbinder's restaurant in Philadelphia was hit hard by the recession in 2008 and closed its doors in March 2009 amid bankruptcy.  The restaurant concept was moved to Richmond, VA.

The historical location in Philly was reopened on January 9, 2015.  Renamed the Olde Bar, the restaurant was transformed into a mix of seafood saloon and private catering space.
