I don’t have any great desire to have experienced life during the horse-and-buggy days (I suspect the smell must have been less-than-delightful) but seeing photos like this of downtown L.A when it was well developed with genteel Victorian mansions and lots of shady trees – we’re seeing here the corner of 3rd and Hill Streets in the 1890s – it does seem an idyllic time…well, as long as you had a bit of money. But then again, that’s always going to be the case, isn’t it?

Very Quaint.
