![The image depicts an old-fashioned urban setting, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The prominent feature is a row of classic automobiles parked along what seems to be a street in front of commercial buildings. There are at least four cars visible: two sedans and two trucks, all with rounded body shapes indicative of models produced during that era.
The first car on the left appears worn out, with its wheels exposed due to missing hubcaps or tires, suggesting it might not be in regular use or could have been involved in some form of mechanical failure. The second vehicle is a sedan directly behind the first one; this car shows signs of rust and age but retains most of its body panels.
The third automobile from the left appears somewhat better maintained compared to the others with visible wheels, though it's still quite old-fashioned by today's standards. It has distinctive side mirrors attached at an angle—a design characteristic of certain vintage models.
Finally, there is a sedan on the far right; this vehicle seems relatively well-preserved and might be in working condition. Its headlights are intact, as opposed to many other vehicles that have missing or broken lamps.

![The image is a black and white photograph capturing an urban street scene with historical architecture. In the foreground, there are two vintage automobiles parked on what appears to be unpaved or gravel road surface. The car closest to us displays features typical of early 20th-century design, such as spoked wheels, fenders over tires for added protection against mud and debris, and a spare tire mounted at the rear.
Behind these cars is an old brick building with large windows that have curtains drawn partially across them. One set of double doors on the ground floor has "CASINO" prominently displayed in both upper and lower case letters above it, suggesting that this establishment offers gambling services. To its right are more closed-off windows and a door leading into another part of the structure labeled as "CAFE," with additional signage indicating special events like "Klamath Falls Sat., Sept."
A pole bearing a sign reading "CASINO" is also visible in front of the building, reinforcing the establishment's purpose. Above this scene, an array of posters or signs are affixed to various points on and around the building, though their content isn't legible from this perspective.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene. In the foreground, there's a lone figure dressed in what appears to be work clothes with trousers rolled up at the bottom of his boots, wearing shoes suitable for walking on hard surfaces like dirt or pavement. He seems to have a somber expression as he walks away from the camera towards several parked cars that line both sides of the street.
The middle ground is occupied by multiple vintage automobiles in various states and colors—tan, white, grey—that suggest an era ranging possibly from the 1930s through the mid-20th century. Some have visible license plates and one has a spare tire attached to its rear side.
In the background stands a building with signs that read "SAFEWAY" in large letters, indicating it's likely a grocery store or supermarket, as well as an advertisement for Coca-Cola along top signage on what appears to be two separate buildings. The presence of multiple vehicles and this commercial establishment suggests this might have been taken during a time when such establishments were common urban sights.
The street is marked by tire tracks in the dirt surface which implies frequent vehicle passage over it, possibly due to unpaved road conditions or recent rain that could have made streets muddy before they dried.

In #SanFrancisco, the annual observance will take place Sunday 2/16 at the Kabuki.
The ceremony and blessings, Carrying the Light for Justice, will also honor Dr. Satsuki Ina, and be followed by a short candlelight procession through Japantown.

Today in Labor History January 17, 1873: A group of Modoc warriors defeated the U.S. Army in the First Battle of the Stronghold. The battle was part of the Modoc War. Captain Jack (Kintpuash) led the Modocs. The Lava Beds near Tule Lake were a natural fortress, with hundreds of caves and tunnels that were well-known to the Modocs. There was a dense fog. The soldiers couldn’t see, yet they proceeded anyway. Modoc sharpshooters hid in crevasses and picked off U.S. soldiers, one by one. In all, the Modocs killed thirty-five U.S. soldiers. And the army killed two Modoc women and two of their children. Eventually, the army brought in more troops and surrounded the Modoc camp. But Captain Jack snuck everyone out through secrets tunnels. The army pursued them for months and finally captured them. They hanged Captain Jack and donated his head to the Army Medical Museum in Washington. They later transferred it to the Smithsonian, where it remained until 1984.

![A black and white photograph captures a poignant moment between an adult woman, wearing glasses, with curly hair, and a young child. The woman appears to be in distress or fatigue, her expression somber as she gazes off-camera while holding the child on her lap. Beside them is another individual's arm draped over what seems like a coat rack.
The child has a dirty complexion and disheveled clothing, suggesting they may have been traveling for some time with little care taken to clean or dress well. The toddler looks directly at the camera with an expression that could be interpreted as wary or apprehensive. Both are seated inside a vehicle; glimpses of seats and what appears to be part of the steering wheel suggest it's likely an older model.
The photograph has visible handwriting on its right edge, indicating identification marks typically seen in historical documentation: "Mother 2C - child with spoon" above and below respectively. A watermark or signature is present at bottom-right corner reading 'S Frazel'.
In terms of context provided by the caption from Mother and baby of family on the road in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California, this image likely represents a moment during economic hardship such as The Great Depression when many families were displaced due to unemployment or droughts.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an old, weathered vehicle that appears to be from the early 20th century. The car has visible damage such as missing panels on its front end and what seems like rust or dirt accumulation over time.
In the back of this vintage truck, there are two young children; one is standing up near a small wooden crate while holding onto it for support, possibly to keep their balance due to the uneven surface. The other child appears seated inside another section of the vehicle with an open gate that has bars across its top.
The setting seems like an urban area or town street during daylight hours as there are buildings in the background and a few parked cars visible on the side road. One building prominently displays signage reading "IT NEGLLEY & CO." while others have signs indicating commercial establishments such as a hotel with the word 'HOTEL' discernible.
The photo is marked with handwritten annotations at various positions: near the top right corner, there's some illegible text due to its size and angle. In addition, on the bottom left-hand side of the photograph, it reads "4-1908" which likely indicates a date or code associated with this image.
