content: This black and white photograph depicts the exterior of a building on an urban street. The first floor entrance is a storefront with a large plate glass window and double glass doors. Above the doors is text that reads "Bob City" in large letters written against a musical staph. The words "Known the World Over" are written beneath. At each end of the staph is a black silhouette of a figure playing the saxophone? Hanging above the door is a large electric sign that protrudes perpendicularly from the building. The top part of the sign is text running vertically that reads "JIMBO'S." Underneath is text that reads "Chicken Basket." Underneath is a second sign with larger lettering that reads "Bop City." Perpendicular to this is a triangular with text that reads " the house/ that BOP/ BUILT/ Chicken / Hot or Cold/ as Good as GOLD/ Here [illegible] King Cole/ I like it here [illegible] Mr. B/ The Food and Music." There are several cars in front of the building, and a man in a light colored coat and hat passing along the sidewalk in front. On the back of the image is a green sticker with "#2" handwritten on it.
