This black-and-white image depicts a street scene featuring two storefronts in a historic or older town setting. The storefront on the left is a butcher shop or meat market with a sign above reading "MEATS" in bold, white lettering and striped awnings. Two window displays show meat-related items, and there is writing on the glass promoting "veal, roast, lamb," and more. A small sign also reads "Frigidaire" near the entrance.

The storefront on the right belongs to the "Red & White Food Stores." Above the shop, the name is displayed prominently, as is the phrase "Gorton's Codfish." In the display window, there is a well-organized showcase of canned or jarred goods, including a sign advertising "Olives - 23 cents." The door next to this shop is labeled with "Red & White."

Two men are walking on the street in opposite directions. The setting includes a cobbled or paved street and the architectural style of the buildings suggests it is an older area, likely from the mid-20th century. The window placement and brickwork further enhance the vintage aesthetic.
