Vintage shots from days gone by!

Well said, Mike!




Nice old photo from the LA Public Library collection, thanks to GaylordWilshire of SkyScraperPage.
Mrs. Hancock's house, northeast corner of Wilshire and Vermont. If this is a repost, PLEASE some-
body PM me, and I'll remove it. The thread has gone on long enough for memories to fade, so
reposts are happening too often. We have to help eachother, in order to keep the thread . . . well, not "trim" but at least clean!

 

Also from Gaylord Wilshire on the SkyScraper site. 117 East 6th, across from Cole's, circa 1960. A friend of mine has one of these. Whoa.

Hard to imagine all that congestion , well, then on a Los Angles Freeway. Kind of reminds me of Washington D C as they were first starting their still un resolved I-95 projects . scrubba
