Description

Downtown Los Altos at Main Street and First Street. The photo is taken looking down Main Street towards San Antonio Road. On the corner of First Street and Main Street on the right side of the photo is Miracle Meat Center: Luxury Meats at Budget Prices. On the opposite corner of First Street and Main Street on the left side of the photo is Cunningham's. It is raining in the photograph, and the sky is dark and cloudy, and the street is wet and reflective. Automobiles line Main Street, and cars are driving up and down the street. There is a US mail box on the corner outside Miracle Meat Center. It appears to be Christmas time, as decorations are hanging from the store fronts.
