In East Los Angeles, United States, a dark green newspaper vending machine stands on a concrete sidewalk during daylight hours. The machine is bolted to the ground via a rusted metal base. White graffiti is visible on its exterior: "FUCK Cop$" is written on the lower left panel, and "$EMR" with a downward arrow is on the upper right angled panel. A "LOUD" sticker and other illegible markings are present inside the recessed dispenser area. To the left, a portion of a white vehicle is parked parallel to the sidewalk. To the right, a tree trunk with exposed roots is visible, and a crumpled white and green plastic bag lies on the concrete. The sidewalk displays minor stains and a yellow paint mark. Several other vehicles are discernible in the distant background, suggesting a street or parking area.
