A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a vibrant street scene with multiple signs, telephone poles, a parked car, and items for sale on the sidewalk. Some of the scenes read, "CURIOS | ANTIQUES | DO NOT STOP | IN DRIVEWAY," "MEXICAN CURIOS," "ROCERIES | FRUIT," D Pepper," "REGAL | BEER | CAFE." A person is just barely visible standing at a news stand and their face is obscured by a shadow.
