An evening city street scene on Boylston Street near Copley Square. On the left side of the photo is a busy sidewalk and a Chick-Fil-A restaurant. On the street in front of the restaurant, four cars, three of them double-parked, occupy the multiple-lane street; a food delivery driver is stepping out of one of the cars while a second car is attempting to drive between the others to fit in closer to the curb.
