You guys and girls posting pictures of yourselves and expecting getting ‘likes’ and notes and shit, please GO BACK TO FACEBOOK.

It goes back, and stays there, in the early 1900s. It’s always been a familiar community to those who’ve come from foreign shores because these streets always held someone who could speak their tongue.
