A vintage illustration of a busy downtown street, reminiscent of Culpeper Walk, with colorful two-story buildings housing various storefronts, including a charming drugstore. Classic cars are parked along the street as a green traffic light hangs overhead. People are gathered on the bustling sidewalk.
