Famous Schwartz's smoked meat

Fujifilm X100s, f/5.6, iso 800, HDR
There is a place on Saint-Laurent Boulevard where there is almost always a line of people waiting. Nobody can quite explain, why they lining up to this particular charcuterie, as there are two others equally good nearby.
But Schwartz's is listed in every possible guidebook about Montreal as a "place to visit". The smoked meat sandwiches are indeed pretty good. And the staff is so proud of working there for years, that you can almost feel like they're saving the world.
I thought it would be funny to capture the line on the picture. The HDR developed pretty well (and yes, I was too lazy to remove artifacts created by people in motion), but I went a step further and tried  to make it look like it could happen 100 years ago in a similar sunny winter morning.
