The 1st hour of 2021 at Ray's

And Ray Alvarez, the proprietor of Ray's Candy Store at 113 Avenue A near Seventh Street, was on duty at the front window... as seemingly always. 

Ray also officially turns 88 on Jan. 25. (Some folks celebrate it on Jan. 1!) Happy Birthday/Birthmonth Ray!

Thanks to Peter Brownscombe for the photo!
