EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in New Orleans. The storefront of a grocery store at 701 Bourbon Street stands proudly on the corner of St. Peter Street, inviting passersby to step into its world. Taken in 1938 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, this image is a testament to her skill as a photographer. The scene is bustling with life as people walk along the sidewalk, going about their daily routines. The wrought iron balcony above adds an elegant touch to the otherwise simple exterior. A Coca Cola sign hangs prominently on the side of the building, showcasing one of America's favorite beverages even back then. The general store seems like a hub for community interaction, where locals gather to purchase their daily necessities and exchange stories. Its gable roof and charming architecture reflect the unique charm of New Orleans' French Quarter. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an early morning in 1938 when coffee was brewing inside and customers were greeted with warm smiles from behind that storefront window. Frances Benjamin Johnston has captured not just a physical space but also an atmosphere filled with history and culture. This photograph serves as a reminder that even though times may change, there will always be places like this grocery store that hold memories and stories within their walls.
