Immortalized for Posterior
You have to feel a bit sorry for the window washer. He had a chance to be immortalized for posterity in a photo, but it didn't quite work out.
Still standing on Fayette Street
Alpha Photo Engraving apparently made Orioles baseball cards. I think this might be the site in the picture, although there's no third floor on the left building.
Takin' Care of Business
Well, pal, you better pay up, see. Wouldn't want to have to put any of these here trash barrels to another use.
Balt Noir
Tony R, aka "the bender" (3 piece suit, cigar and fedora) in charge of the local loan sharking racket, is shaking down one of his regulars who owes him $50 +50% interest, but lost it Saturday on what his booky swore was a "sure thing." Meanwhile, the two undercover G-men immediately to the right are noting everything.
