No date, but based on his age, maybe 1950's? Love the signs!

The pant leg cuffs have to be larger . We used to get in the bathtub with our new Levi's on and let them shrink to our bodies. This was before they had pre shrunk Levis. The big cuffs were used as ash trays or what ever.

Yeah, the cuffs on his jeans made me think '50's (as well as his DOB) but would a guy in his 30's get in the tub with his jeans?

I cant speak for him if he was in his 30's but us teenagers in the late 1940's and early 1950's did some crazy things. we used to roll our packs of cigarettes up in our shirt sleeves. put a quarter in the palm of our hand and put out a cigarette on the quarter so it looked like we were putting it out on our hand. and we used to light house hold matches on our teeth..Ha-Ha I miss those days.

You notice in the picture his jeans are baggy. Not us guys in the Levi gang ours were skin tight.

I'll have to try to find it again but I think it's someplace unexpected, like a hotel in the Catskills or something.

The young guy on the left was born in 1907, so this photo was probably taken in the late 1920s. Since the word "gat" was used along with "no parking" in the original post's photo -- maybe that was from the 1930s?
