Anyone have fotos of Santiago from the 1910's,20s, 30's,40's or 50's? Or from the turn of the 20th century? I would love to see those.

Those photos of the Centro Espa?ol bring back a lot of memories. We used to play bridge there every Wednesday--Jose Vega, Raul Martinez, Mr. and Mrs HB...Jaime Jorge..
Those guys at the table...half are still around..Iglesias, Manuel "Bellon"...Luis, Don Frank, Luis Gal?n,

Luis, second from the left played goalkeeper for me in 1970!!! He was good!...His wife damn near killed him...he'd already had one heart attack..

That bar!! What memories... the sign on the wall :Galicia, que bello eres,,,,

Thanks, Pichardo!!
