Maybe things don’t change as much as we think they do. This photo from 1937 shows bumper-to-bumper traffic is heading west along Wilshire Blvd out of downtown at Bonnie Brae St, so I’m assuming this is the afternoon peak hour traffic. Cars inching forward as far as we can see. The major difference I can see is that the streetlamps were prettier and the license plates only have 4 numbers. These days they have seven.
The same view in March 2018 – ironically with much less traffic:
the street lights havent chianged………..Still GE ‘Chinese l;anterns’ from the early 1920’s……..
Oh yeahhhhh! I was actually looking at the overhead sign posts with the street signs. Thank, Bill!
Speed limit 20. License plates on left rear tire fender.
