Shoppers and visitors crowd picnic tables under the open sky here, with rows of parked cars and tall pines standing just beyond them, a setting that suggests a rural fairground rather than a city street. Gatherings like this were a fixture of county fairs in the early and middle twentieth century, when families drove in from surrounding farms for a day of livestock judging, exhibits and midway fare. Food stands and shaded eating areas were where the day's social life gathered, and a scene like this one captures how central a shared meal was to the fair experience. Look closely at the cars to date the picture, since their shapes often reveal the decade more reliably than the clothing.
