Oh my goodness!
Flashback to Abbot and Costello selling the neckties, I think it was.
My little sister is taking a black and white photography class.

What an awesome photo. And the sign in the upper right: “Joe’s Egg Cream”. Too fabulous!

Did you say “Abbott and Costello?” I loved them since I was a kid, even before I had added the like of Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers to my list of eternal favorites. Their 53/54 television show was rebroadcasted every weekday at 4 in the afternoon in early 60s Brooklyn…I made it a point to be home with the speed of an eagle in flight. I know most of their routines and gags by heart…including the necktie routine, to be sure.
