The large building behind them was like many others, in towns across America. Like many icons of the past, their numbers are decreasing.

Bowling club ?

Otto Puzzell · May 02, 2013, 05:33:41 AM

No; another sort of business.

I think I can read "Sears" on the sign at the left of the picture. Is the building a department store?

Picture taken in the western USA?

Are these guys famous for something else? Maybe members of a band?

Otto Puzzell · May 05, 2013, 04:39:55 AM

Not famous at all, as far as I can tell.

The ignominy of the black hole....

Found it!

The photo was taken at Inglewood, California in 1956. To quote the text accompanying the photograph:

QuoteThat's my brother, Larry Marlin, second from the right standing in front of the family's 1940 Chevrolet, which my parents bought new that year. When they got a 1953 Pontiac in 1953, Larry got the Chevy. Larry was 17 when this photo was taken. Next to him on the right end is George Mautz, and I think it is Linley Warwick (a neighbor) on the left end. The cars are parked in the Sears Roebuck parking lot in Inglewood, California, where we all grew up.
