Some customers come as soon as the doors open.....at 12pm. The clothing is one of a kind and some cannot be ordered, which is why they come early to try on and enjoy the great company.
I believe this was Easter Sunday after church and it looks like they were in a car passing 5th Ave and 53rd Street. This Easter (2019) I went back to the very corner to take a photo.
I have been going through old negatives and what I believe it was Easter Sunday April 1, 1956. The family church was Bethany Baptist Church located in Bedford Stuyvesant.
I am using Dijifi.com to have my photos digitally formatted.
