I think that this photo could potentially be Maycomb, Alabama. Many of the things in the photo are features that Maycomb has too. For example, the buildings, people, prices, sidewalks, stores, and the overall setting. Some of these things gave been mentioned so far throughout the book and that's why I think that this photo could be Mycomb, Alabama.
Something that I noticed in the picture was that on the road next to the sidewalk is trashed and there's a bunch of paper on the ground. I thought that could relate to the book since on page 6 it says, "...grass grew on the sidewalks...". I thought this could go with the picture since on the picture there is garbage on the ground, so both the quote and the picture show the ground kind of old. I also thought that the picture could go along with the setting of the book because of the prices of the fruits. The book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee takes place in the 1930's. This could go along with the picture because nowadays we don't have those kind of cars and the fruits weren't as cheap as they are in the picture. The last reason I thought this could go along with the book is because the book says "Maycomb was a tired old town..." and since the picture isn't showing many people, it could go along with the book.
