Description

A color photograph of Shore Blvd flooding during Hurricane Agnes. The strong winds are blowing the palm trees that line the street, but the water appears relatively calm. The foreground features a "NO PARKING HERE TO CORNER" sign showing where the street would be without the flood waters. The sign for a bar/tavern is visible in the top right of the photograph.
