A black and white photograph captures a storefront window with various items displayed inside. Prominently, on the right side of the image is a chalkboard sign that reads "HAVE GOOD LIST OF SHARE CROP RENTER'S A Few Good 80 FOR SALE Good House And 3 Acres For Sale CHOICE 9 Acres Fine Location" in a casual handwritten style. Below this board is another item listing prices, such as "$5 LB ONION $1LB BEET BOIL," suggesting a vegetable market or grocery store setting.

The storefront window showcases an assortment of produce with visible fruits and vegetables like potatoes and tomatoes, alongside signs indicating products for sale like "5¢ LB VEGETABLES." Above the display is another sign stating "$8 ROAST BEEF & $10" which could imply special promotions. The left side features a circular sticker or emblem with text that reads "POLK 4-28C Member," possibly identifying the business as part of an organization.

The image has handwritten annotations in white ink on its right border, likely indicating additional information about the photograph's context but is too small to decipher clearly.

Detail on main street of Nyssa, Oregon

The black and white photograph depicts a corner storefront with large windows displaying various signs. The most prominent sign, written on chalkboard, reads "PORK ROAST 18¢", "ROAST BEEF 10¢" alongside other offerings such as house renter's share crop for sale at $80 and available lots of ground crops like potatoes priced at $.40 per pound. Below this, a smaller sign advertises vegetables in the window display with prices listed.

Beside these signs, there is another framed notice about housing availability being sold or rented, although specific details are not entirely legible due to resolution constraints. The storefront appears old-fashioned and suggests an early 20th-century setting, indicative of small-town commerce during that era.

The windows reflect the surroundings, showing a faint image of what might be a vehicle with "NY" license plates on it, hinting at street activity outside the shop's immediate vicinity. The building is made of brickwork, typical for commercial structures in older downtown areas. Overall, this scene captures an aspect of daily life and commerce from nearly 100 years ago in Nyssa, Oregon.

The photograph depicts a series of handwritten chalkboard menus featuring various food items and prices. The boards appear weathered, with some writing erasing or fading over time. One board lists dishes such as "Ranch Cook," "Italian Chalk," and "Acker - Full String" along with their respective prices in cents, indicating an older establishment possibly from the early to mid-20th century.

Another menu displays prices for meat items including a "$10 Steak," "Ham and Eggs Bacon on Baguette," and "$4.50 Roast Beef." The boards are held up by what seems to be chalkboard supports or frames, with handwritten notes indicating different types of meats such as beef stew, liver, onions, lamb curry, rice steak, large hambergers, corn beef cabbage, etc.

The image is in black and white, suggesting it might have been taken around the time these menus were active. The background shows a window frame on which some Arabic script has been handwritten, adding an additional layer of cultural context to this scene from San Francisco's Employment office on Howard Street.

Overall, the photograph captures a moment that feels both nostalgic and authentic in its portrayal of daily life at a simple eatery or employment-related establishment during early-to-mid 20th-century America.

'Mahlzeit'
Irgendwann haben wir damit angefangen uns alle bei sehr guten Freunden in Niedersachsen, zum #ESC gucken, zu treffen und ausgiebig #Roastbeef mit allem Drum und Dran zu essen. Alles handgemacht und nur aus der Region.
Daraus ist seit Jahren eine sehr schöne Tradition geworden. Wir freuen uns schon alle auf den 17. Mai

Bildbeschreibung von KI:
Das Foto zeigt eine gemütliche Essensszene aus der Vogelperspektive. Mehrere Personen sitzen an einem gedeckten Tisch und genießen eine herzhafte Mahlzeit.

In der Mitte des Tisches befindet sich eine große Auflaufform mit aufgeschnittenem, rosa gegartem Fleisch, das mit Kräutern und Knoblauch gewürzt wurde. Dazu gibt es geröstete Kartoffeln mit Gemüse, verschiedene Dips oder Saucen sowie knuspriges Brot. Jeder Gast hat einen eigenen Teller mit Portionen der Speisen, und man sieht mehrere Hände, die aktiv essen oder sich Essen nehmen.

Die Atmosphäre ist warm und gesellig, mit einer brennenden Kerze als Dekoration. Getränke wie Rotwein und Bier ergänzen das Mahl. Die Tischdekoration besteht aus orangefarbenen Platzdeckchen und Servietten mit einem Traubenmotiv. Das Bild vermittelt das Gefühl eines gemeinsamen, genussvollen Abendessens mit Freunden oder Familie.
