View down Main Street. The wide street has cars and trucks parked along the curbs on both sides. The Elroy Post Office is on the corner on the right. Further down is a doctors office, a shoe store, a drug store, a barber shop, a bakery and a meat market. A delivery truck is sitting outside the bakery in the street with a back door open.
