I happened upon this photograph by chance. I’m posting it in memory of my dad and mom, who first met on the boardwalk.

Looks like general outdoor advertising company. A modern looking billboard
Yep. The clean, modern design is what struck me. And then the man walking so close to the buildings.
What a great story, knowing where and when your folks first met. I wish mine were around so I could ask them.
I learned so much of what I know of my parents’ lives late in the game. True fact: my mom almost didn’t go to Coney Island that day, because she had a cold. But I don’t know the year. Maybe 1953?
