The back of a young girl with a blonde bun and white sweater. She faces a small brick train stop building that says, “Flagstaff.”
South Side Chicago in 1970. Vintage cars are driving down a road with business marquees on the sidewalks.
There is a building of metal sheeting and a train car alongside a train track. On the right, there are buildings in the distance, covered mostly by trees. There is snow on the ground.
