Bustling with the chrome-bumpered optimism of mid-century border tourism, this vivid chrome-era postcard captures Tijuana's Second Street and "C" Avenue alive with traffic — a wood-paneled station wagon, a cherry-red convertible, and a silver sedan crowd the foreground while a domed mission-style cathedral anchors the skyline beyond strings of hanging lights; a yellow neon "CAFE Tio Luis" sign blazes on the right, and a red "La Bola" sign glows in the distance, painting a picture of a city that marketed itself expertly to American day-trippers seeking horse races, Jai Alai, duty-free shopping, and an intoxicating dash of Mexican flavor just south of the San Diego line.
