Looking along Broadway, downtown Los Angeles, circa 1907

Looking along Broadway, downtown Los Angeles, circa 1907In this photo we’re looking along Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, circa 1907. I loved seeing photos from the era when the streets of L.A. accommodated automobiles and streetcars alongside horse-drawn carriages. The noises and smells must have been quite different from what we’re used to. That street car is headed for the Bimini Baths, a spa and “plunge” (public swimming pool) built on a natural hot spring at 180 Bimini Place in what is now Koreatown, near the corner of Third St and Vermont Ave. On my website, I have a page of photos of the Bimini Baths: https://wp.me/p5XK3w-14Z
