Low Bob's Dicount Tobacco store in Waynedale. Photograph by Christopher Crawford

Low Bob's Discount Tobacco Town store on Blufton Road in the Waynedale section of Fort Wayne, Indiana. The windows are full of cigarette advertisements and signs for Camel, Marlboro, and Basic cigarettes. An old toilet sits on the sidewalk in front of the building next to a newspaper machine and a flower box. Photographed at sunset.

Low Bob's Discount Tobacco Town is one of the busiest places in Waynedale. I had to wait until the sun was setting and the store was closed to photograph the building without a bunch of cars parked in front of it. All the times I had driven past this place, I had never noticed the old toilet sitting on the sidewalk by the door!

Tobacco is so popular in Waynedale that there is actually a second Low Bob's store about half a mile north of here on the same street.
