View across street towards the row of businesses along the sidewalk on the right. Includes, from the right, a man in an apron, and three young girls standing in front of a general store and post office. Further down the street is a two-story building with two wooden wheels in front of a large, open double doorway. There are a few more commercial buildings, and then dwellings further down the street. There are various signs posted for "Shoes," "Mobiloil," and "Ice Cream." Automobiles are parked along the curb.
