The cross-traffic in front is on Dublin Blvd., the former Lincoln Highway. In back and high above, I-580 intersects with I-680. And in the middle, perfectly placed, is a car wash named "Autopia."

This image was shot through my windshield while waiting for a left turn signal.

Dublin, 35 miles (56 km) east of San Francisco, is one of the cities where Bill Owens shot his delightful 1970-era book Suburbia.
