Description
This black and white photograph shows a small, slightly dilapidated building with hand written signs on metal roofing material that reads "Cold Beer On Tap" "Hard Times Mississippi" "Pool" above the door. An illustrated wooden cut out of a cat laying down on a couch is to the right of the door and a handwritten sign reading "We Open" is to the left of the door. A Miller High Life sign hangs above the door and a "Phone" sign with an illustration of a telephone protrudes from the upper left corner of the building. Trash and other debris is seen in front of the slab in front of the building and in the area to the right of the building.
