Sonny Cannon striking an impresario pose on N. Potomac Street. We're assuming this is during the big band era in the '40s since it was before the current firehouse was built in 1948-49. Note that the old Fire Hall wasn't there yet.

The half block with Hudson Row and Wenner's City Meat Market in the far right foreground is long gone.

From Facebook: Jim Dixon: This is Sonny Cannon before the Fire Hall was built, you can see the Berlin behind him on Potomac St. Sonny and Louise lived over the Hardware store for years before moving to North Virginia Ave. Jan 8, 2011

Peter Wenner: What a great shot of Sonny looking dapper. As you look down Potomac St on the right, you can see Hudson Row, the City Meat Mkt, Pres Orrison's store (later Roelke's) and Kaplon's. Jan 8, 2011
