Delray Beach native Bruce Allen sent us this photo of his grandfather’s store on Atlantic Avenue. Nothing like a bit of nostalgia.

Bruce tells us that the photo was taken January 1922 and that Sam Allen’s store was in the same building where Vince Canning’s shoe store is today.

Please send us some of more of these vintage photos of the area. They get Jeff all choked up.

Water Cooler Wednesday: A Blast From Our Past

Courtesy of Bruce Allen

Good morning, www.yourdelrayboca.com readers.

We came across this rendering of Atlantic Avenue. Based on the style of cars, the image probably depicted a typical day, perhaps in the 1940s. Please send us some vintage pictures of Boca Raton and Delray Beach and we’ll post them on the site. Nothing like a little nostalgia for the area.

When Jeff saw this picture, a tear came to his eyes.
