Sid Looking at Fire Damaged Storefronts
Image
View of Sid standing in the street with a cigar in his mouth looking at damaged storefronts covered with icicles. Snow and ice cover the sidewalk, and a fire hose is snaking along the sidewalk. The storefront windows are broken, and a truck, perhaps a fire engine, is parked on the far right. There are signs for Pepsi-Cola, a Delicious Shish Kebob restaurant, and the Industrial Commission.
