Vintage Los Angeles (14 gifs)

#5 the people in the middle of the street are waiting for a streetcar (L.A. had the best electrified streetcar and bus system in the world, all supplanted by smelly cars.)
#10 a kid could still make a buck delivering newspapers
#11 rush hour from the San Fernando Valley to L.A. - today its literally a parking lot at rush hour.

All in the city with the shortest abbreviation, L.A., for "El Pueblo de Nuestra Seora la Reina de los Angeles del Ro de Porcincula" or "the town of our senora the queen of the angels on the Porcincula river"
