A close-up of a weathered storefront sign with multiple layers showing various services. The top sign reads "UNISEX" with "PERSONAL TOUCH" in smaller letters, and the word "DRY CLEANING" is partially peeled off. Below it, a sign with "Ellery's" is visible, and the largest, most prominent sign says "VIDEO RENTAL MANIA" in bold letters, with "WINES - LIQUORS" underneath in a smaller font. The signs exhibit a vintage look with faded and chipped paint, suggesting an older establishment.
