I ran a reverse image search and came up blank.

Looking closely, I have no idea.  If you showed me this picture and asked for 10 guesses in what city the picture was taken, Tulsa would not be among them. Even if you restricted it to 10 USA cities.

The truck is from the 30s probably. Which matches the woman's attire. Best guess on time frame then...

If we were doing picture association, I'd say New Orleans... I can't place it in Tulsa based on anything I've seen (including old photos).

I was assuming New Orleans as well. (At first I thought Crystals Pizza when I saw the thumbnail, which made no sense.) The gate feels familiar but I don't know why.

To my knowledge, we've never had housing like that built up to the street as this is.  I'd agree with you and CF, NOLA.  Must be a "misc." that ended up in the Ford collection which has nothing to do with Tulsa.

I took a trip down Bourbon Street, with Google Street View.  It looks it might be here: https://goo.gl/maps/uddC6.
There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

Yep, I'd agree. Thanks!
