I find some photos striking not because they’ve captured an event or person, but because they’ve encapsulated daily life that would otherwise have dissipated to the ethers. In this photo from June 1919, we see Angelenos go about their business at the intersection of 3rd and Hill Streets in downtown LA near the 3rd Street Tunnel. That cafeteria on the left offered only vegetarian fare, which I would think would have been rather unusual back then.
