Description
View of a gas station restroom along San Fernando Road somewhere in the Newhall area of Santa Clarita. The door on the left has a white star painted on it, and hanging between the two doors is a poster with an image of Uncle Sam, right arm outstretched, holding what appears to be a cell phone in his right hand. The sign reads: "Protecting America". The hillside can be seen directly behind this small restroom structure. Newhall, named after businessman Henry Newhall, is the southernmost and oldest district of Santa Clarita and prior to the 1987 consolidation into the city of Santa Clarita, it was an independent but unincorporated town.
