A square black-and-white photograph depicts the exterior of a two-story commercial building. On the covered sidewalk in front of the store, a number of primarily dark-skinned men stand and socialize in small groups. One man has his shoes shined, and another opens the door of the building to walk inside. Painted on the second story of the building is a large advertisement for 7 Up soda reading, "fresh | up! | with | 7up | IT | LIKES | YOU | sip it... ...taste it".
