EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties at a Hacienda-style restaurant in Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, situated just a stone's throw from the border with the United States. In this evocative photograph, taken circa late 1920s, men and women dressed in fashionable attire of the era gather on the upper terrace of the restaurant, gazing out to the sea. The Spanish colonial architecture of the hacienda, with its red-tiled roofs, wrought-iron balconies, and whitewashed walls, transports us to another era. During the Prohibition era in the United States, Tijuana became a popular destination for Americans seeking refuge from the strict alcohol laws at home. The border town's vibrant nightlife and relaxed attitudes towards alcohol made it a favorite spot for tourists, and the Hacienda-style restaurants like this one thrived on the business. The men in the photograph appear deep in conversation, their suits and hats reflecting the elegance of the era. The women, dressed in flapper dresses and cloche hats, chat animatedly, their laughter carried by the sea breeze. The scene is one of leisure and relaxation, a moment of escape from the stresses of everyday life. The border between Mexico and the United States looms in the background, a reminder of the frontier spirit that defined this period in history. The Spanish colonial architecture of the hacienda, with its central courtyard and intricate details, stands in contrast to the modernity of the nearby border fence. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time of glamour, excitement, and cross-cultural exchange. The Hacienda-style restaurant on the beachfront at Playas de Tijuana remains a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that continues to define the borderlands between Mexico and the United States.
