The Angelenos on this streetcar might have been among the first ride that line heading for Downey Ave, southeast of downtown Los Angeles. This photo was taken in June of 1889, when it was still quite new. How different downtown L.A. was back then. Look at those highly detailed Victorian era buildings lining both sides of Broadway, as well as all those horses and carriages. So the sounds (and smells!) of the city would have been quite different back then, too.
