Your Faded Dreams Come Back to Life
(Jacob Wirth Co., 1868 - 2018; 2024 - )
Yesterday's Boston Globe had an article noting that "longtime Boston fixture, Jacob Wirth restaurant is on the way back." The restaurant opened in 1868 in a building built in 1844 (declared a historic landmark in 1975). The restaurant closed in 2018 after a fire. But it's being renovated to reopen next Spring.
All of which reminded me that I shot the closed restaurant's somewhat unkempt façade in the Spring of 2022 . . . but never processed or uploaded the photo. So here it is, processed with a faded, light sepia, grainy, old-timey film look to honor the restaurant's 150 year history . . . before it's finished being spiffed up. (As the Boston Globe notes, before the fire, the restaurant had "changed remarkably little over the decades." But "the building is being renovated under new ownership" . . . and will "present as a nice new restaurant" while retaining "the Jacob Wirth aura and style"). Chinatown/Theater District, Boston.
p.s. Note "The Coco Chanel of Cannabis" poster board ad ("Weed's Come A Long Way, Baby").
