A vertical black-and-white photograph depicts a run-down wooden building with large lettering on its roof that reads, “ANDREW MEYER GROCERIES & MEAT.” A small sign above the doorway reads “STEERING CORRECTION” and lettering on the door reads "Residence Next Door." A banner on the ground reads “COLORADO BODY WORKS | BODY & FENDER REPAIRING | REFINISHING | WHEEL ALIGNMENT BALANCING." Similar text is repeated in the windows, which are partially covered up with a light-colored material.
