Vesey Street was once in a working class part of Manhattan down by the waterfront. It is now a very expensive part of Manhattan and no longer a continuous street. The World Trade Center once stood on part of it. Vesey Street has an Irish Hunger Memorial at one end; many Irish immigrants lived in the area. Skippy and his friends appear to be Irish.

The strip appeared during Prohibition, when it was illegal to get liquor in the USA and good Scotch was smuggled in from Canada, if you had the money.
