always nice to see Buk getting along with da ladies, thanks gray
Great collection, nice to see so many contributions.
According to the post, it says it's Charles with his dog in the early '50s.
Could that be the one he had with Jane when they where shacked up? Or is it just a stray dog from the beach?
Send a private message to this person and maybe you'll get the photo you need.
Excuse me!

"New? Hello, I found this photo on Facebook. I couldn't find a reference to the date and, unfortunately, I can't find any information. Can anyone give me more details? I'm Brazilian and a lover of Bukowsk literature, thank you and a thousand kisses to everyone."

According to Bukowski.net Timeline it was the 18th of August 1985, when Charles Bukowski married Linda Lee Beighle.

I stumbled upon these pics of Moyamensing prison on instagram where Buk wrote about when he lived in Philly. He was arrested for vagrancy i believe. These pics are from around that time.
Not vagrancy, draft dodging.

I guess they are later era pics but still, there you go.

It looks like they're tearing it down in those pics and people are watching.
When I was looking for period pictures of the prison for the timeline I couldn't find any. Only pictures of it after it was closed.

It's funny too because that section of South Philly is a nice & expensive section of the city, a bit hipster & young.
Regentrification changes everything. In the early 20th Century, the Bronx was exclusive and Manhattan was a hell-hole.
I learned something similar when the goodwife and I went to N'Orleans in 2010. She was looking for a nice spell of relaxation and I was looking for the history of Loujon Press. Needless to say, most of that has been wiped away with no evidence of its existence.
I did consume a large quantity of high-quality red beans and rice with andouille sausage and a few beignets, and the Bloody Mary's on the Natchez riverboat trip around the harbor were top shelf, so it wasn't a total loss.
I think you can find it in The Buk Book by Jim Christy (text) and Claude Powell (photographs).
I also vaguely recall that skiroomalum had used the same photo as one of his avatars.

Yes, it's on page 53 of The Buk Book. Several other photos from the same day (it would seem) are also in that book. They are dated as "Hollywood '71." He lived at 5124 DeLongpre Ave. at the time.

Not sure if I've seen this one before. Ferlinghetti either giving Bukowski the fatherly embrace or getting ready to wrestle him down.
