DescriptionPeople cross the unpaved street of the intersection of Second Street and Gold Avenue in New Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. Men stand on the paved sidewalk in front of Vann Drug Store in the Whiting Building. Doctor Robert Smart's Albuquerque Laboratory is on the upper floor in a curved portico over the entrance to the drug store. A horse is tied to a utility wire near the sidewalk. A wagon is parked near the left of the frame. Utility poles with electrical wires are on either side of the street. Streetcar tracks run across the lower left corner of the frame, through the middle of Second Street. A single street lamp hangs over the intersection in the upper left of the frame. Handwriting on the back of the postcard reads, "Hello Dearie: I am feeling pretty good and hope you can say the same. Weather is fine & dandy here. I will write you a letter tomorrow - give folks and bunch my regards. As ever W.L.K. Larly Clifton"
