Description
A tall view looks down Broadway in downtown Los Angeles with dense rows of multi-story buildings lining both sides of the street. Several large vertical signs and billboards dominate the facades, including a prominent theater-style sign and a clock-topped building in the distance. Cars and buses fill the roadway, giving the scene a busy urban feel. The card shows a colorful city street view from the mid-20th century, undated.
