Colorized photo from 1939
Original title: Greensboro, Greene County, Georgia. Playing checkers outside a service station on a Saturday afternoon
Location: Greensboro, Greene County, Georgia
Somewhere in a small town, on a quiet Saturday afternoon, people found a good way to pass the time. Checkers. They play a rousing game of checkers.
Almost everyone joins or simply wants to watch the game. Cars are waiting to be serviced, people are standing on a line, those things don't matter, checkers, that's the important thing in this town.
What I found interesting other than the die hard checkers game, was an indoor ice cream store. I thought that was a modern invention, but apparently not. Trash cans apparently were not invented yet.
