Main Street
Image
View down center of unpaved Main Street, with a service garage on the left and ice cream parlors on the right. There are lampposts along the sidewalks, and cars are parked along the curbs. On the far right is what appears to be the base of a metal tower, and in the far background is a tree-lined hill.
