Here's a li'l taste of a colorized photo which will include some details about the time and place and incidents that precipitated the event which is playing out in this scene. The "Friedman Motors" sign is on the 1880's built Vivier Opera House which was once the entertainment venue for Brownsville's upper echelon which by this time had been reduced to a garage but was also used to stage amateur boxing and wrestling matches. That Sinclair service station would later be replaced with more modern Sinclair gas station by the 1950s. Both buildings on the corner of E Levee St and 10th are now gone.
