Jose Oliveira, Cobbler, Diplomata Shoe Repair, Newark, New Jersey
From Ted: This week’s Photo of the Week is from my project on The Ironbound in Newark, N.J. This predominately Portuguese (and Brazilian) neighborhood retains much of the culture, lifestyle, language, and traditions of the countries that these immigrants are from. In this photo, José Oliveira is repairing a pair of shoes. He continues the trade and art of being a cobbler that he learned in his native Portugal.

Dear Susan,
Brings back so many fond memories of the shoe business.
