There was a time in Los Angeles when men were men. The would dress in their Sunday best for dinner, for church, for town hall meetings. And for trips to the local hardware store.

The year was 1880.

    Are the guys standing around there the day laborers?

    The guy in overalls on the far right is the day laborer, the rest with their full suits are the church goers waiting for the chance to take advantage of the day laborer. That’s sarcasm folks.
