Oh yeah, now there's an inviting setting to disrobe and sweat.

It obviously has passed health and safety inspections.

Amusing shots, Andrew! And we love when you go all Yiddish and cross-cultural education on us, Mr. Diversity.

Thanks Andrew. The Oakland Baths term paper was amazing. The photos give us some idea of what's inside the bldg.

We'll let Andrew figure out the Windsor building. Doesn't look too Jewish to jjaba, but he's not Canadian. Could be Jewish, could be Finnish, could be a whorehouse.
Thanks and Shalom.

jjaba, Westside Bar Mitzvah Bukkor.

Yes, there were purples across the river. The trade was export-import over the river. Remember, the boxes of hooch were stencilled "FOB China."

jjaba, at 12th and Collingwood when something terrible happened.

Jjaba, were you there when the Collingwood Massacre took place?

Approximate body positions.

Crowd gathering outside Collingwood Manor apartments.

Rosa Parks Blvd. wasn’t always called Rosa Parks Blvd, it was called 12th Street.
