Description |
Matches from Little Joe's. The packaging has a goldenrod cover with red script that reads "Little Joe's." The restaurant address is on the back. Originally named Nuccio's Italian American Grocery, this restaurant was located on 5th and Hewitt Street before moving to 904 North Broadway in the 1920s. Its name was changed to Little Joe's during WWII in order to remove "Italian" from the name and escape wartime stigmas. Little Joe's closed in 1998 and was eventually rebuilt into the Blossom Plaza apartment complex. |
