Drawing of Kimball Avenue in Kimball Neighborhood (also known as Tank Town). There is a street sign on the left in the foreground that reads "Kimbal Ave NE". There is a man on a bike stopped next to a green car. He is talking to a man who is standing on the passenger side. Behind them, on the right side of the road, some buildings can partially be seen. In the center of the drawing, in front of the two men, large structures from the Roanoke Gas Company can be seen. Smoke is coming from two smokestacks, and the area is behind a fenced wall. There are cars outside of the fence, and one truck inside it. "Roanoke Gas Co. 1953 7th AVE NE" is written on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist and dated 2009.
