Yesterday’s photo was taken looking west along Adams Blvd from Figueroa St, so today I thought I’d post a photo taken around the corner. In this one, we’re looking north up Figueroa St toward Adams Blvd. On the left is the beautiful Automobile Club of Southern California building, and next to that, across Adams is the St. Vincent Catholic Church. It’s a good thing traffic is so light because look at the road—there are no lanes! I guess you got to drive wherever you wanted. This photo was taken in 1926, as was yesterday’s, so it’s quite possible they were taken on the same day.

As with yesterday’s photo, the auto-colorizer did a great job of bringing this street scene to life.

This is how that same intersection looked February 2022.
