Polaroid photograph of Voors Jewelry and Lev's Pawn Shop. The two storefronts occupy the same building on the south side of Lower Huntington Road, between Old Trail Road and Bluffton Road, in the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne, Indiana. A billboard behind the building says "Recovery Helps People Heal."

Voors is a locally-owned store that has been in business in this location since 1949. The owner, Jeff Voors, is the son of the store's original owner. Lev's is a chain of pawn shops based in Ohio. They have a couple of other locations in Fort Wayne.

I made this in the evening shortly before sunset when the light was very warm in color.

Waynedale was once a small town, and Lower Huntington Road was the town's "Main Street." In 1957, Waynedale was annexed by the City of Fort Wayne. Though Waynedale has been part of the city longer than it was an independent town, it still looks like a small town and the area still has a small town culture.
