Description: Photograph used for an article dated April 13, 1983.
Traffic on the Hollywood Freeway in the mid-1950s flowed easily in both the southbound and northbound lanes, making a ride around the City of Angels quick and easy. Shown are the popular cars of the day, which would be valuable collectors items if they were around today. When this shot was taken, City Hall dominated the Los Angeles skyline and the Downtown area was still the major shopping spot in the metropolitan L.A. area. Time has changed but Downtown is still a flourishing commercial center.
