DescriptionCentral Avenue looking West from First Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Cars and pedestrians travel toward and away from the camera. Men in suits and women in dresses can be seen walking the sidewalks. Cars are also parked along the sidewalks in front of the varous stores. Buildings such as a cigar store, a taxi depot, Liberty Cafe, Thomas Ice Cream, Butts Drugs, and Combs Hotel can be seen along the street.
Handwriting on the back reads, "Sunday night - So far a fine trip. Every one still able to eat three meals a day. How about supper with you Wed. Evening. If all goes well we will arrive about six. The roads today were far from good but we have had ideal weather - Love from The Travelers Three."
