One visible sign reads “LOVE CANAL NATIONAL SHAME.” Another sign partially visible includes the words “Hooker dumped...” A yellow diamond-shaped “DEAD END” traffic sign is mounted on a pole in the center background. The scene is in a residential or institutional area with multi-story buildings in the background. A video camera appears in the foreground on the left.
