1966 Mariachis in downtown Brownsville, Texas


Delmar Kuebke once owned Fisher's Cafe on E Elizabeth St and 10th.  For many years patrons could drop in 24/7 to order any meal on the menu.  A local favorite was biscuits and gravy.  This photo was taken in front of the cafe with H-E-B and the Sears building on the right.  Several photos, slides and memorabilia made it's way to a nearby antiques dealership in Olmito, Texas where this and other slides and photos were acquired.   Mr Kuebke took this and other photos of his employees in their Charro Days costumes.  These color slides and photos will eventually make their way to the Brownsville Historical Museum archival collection for future generations to enjoy.
After making scan of the slide it was possible to restore the image to what it might have looked like when it was freshly developed.
