December 7, 1941

Waiting To Enlist

Sunday afternoon on “a day that will live in infamy.” Volunteers for military service stretch around the block after the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the United States at Pearl Harbor.

I’m unsure of which city this is. Probably not New York because on December 7 the temperature in New York reached a high of only 34 degrees and the men in this photograph are not dressed for that kind of cold.  I also do not recognize the building. Ideas?
