DescriptionThis image depicts a road that is possibly North 4th Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The road can be seen passing by two billboards. The road takes up the right of the frame while the billboards take up the left. A single vehicle can be seen driving down the road away from the camera. The first billboard reads "Turn Left to Hilton Hotel. Albuquerque New Mexico's Finest. Rotary - Thur. Lions - Tues. Optimist - Fri". The second billboard reads "Turn Left Here - U.S. 85 Optional. For the Westerner Cafe. 'Food with the Zest of the Great Southwest'. 116 N. Second St". A line of wooden telephone poles can be seen near the road on the right side of the frame.
