I think you must have meant West instead of East, but let me guess. It's either Arlington or the Trouille House?

Home of the "tacky ashtray"...Which is funny, because an ashtray is tacky in itself..
They have a collection of ashtrays from 50-80's.. some pretty bizarre ones at that... But, it's something you don't see very much of anymore so it's pretty cool...

Funeral, maybe?
Used to be, around here, when a business was closed for a funeral, the owner would tie a black bow or cover up the business sign when they were closed for the funeral.

Segregated signage. It was, after all, 1938.
Obviously the photographer was white, the message was not intended for him/her.

Is the Petitin Store Building still standing?
