EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of Juarez, Chihuaha, Mexico, during the Roaring Twenties. In this evocative photograph, we find ourselves outside O Briens Bar and Cafe, located on Comercio Street. The bar, owned by Jimme O'Brien and Joe Mogel, is a popular watering hole for locals and travelers alike, as evident by the lively scene unfolding before us. The year is circa 1925, a time when the Prohibition era in the United States had created an intriguing dynamic in this border town. With the demand for alcohol skyrocketing north of the border, enterprising businessmen like O'Brien and Mogel saw an opportunity. They imported barrels of whisky and cases of gin, which are being unloaded from a transport vehicle with great care and efficiency. The barrels are marked with the distinctive insignia of their origin, adding to the authenticity of this scene. The atmosphere is electric, with a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air. The bar staff, dressed in crisp uniforms, work together to offload the precious cargo, ensuring that every drop reaches the thirsty patrons waiting inside. The barrels and cases are carefully maneuvered through the crowded streets, making their way to O Briens Bar and Cafe. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the spirit of the 1920s came alive in the most unexpected places. The image is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring allure of a good drink shared with friends.
