Description
Photograph of a view of Ocean Avenue looking south along the cable car lines, Long Beach, ca.1925. A woman in a lightly-colored dress and what appears to be a bobbed haircut is shown at center, crossing the street. Slightly to the right of her, the utility poles run cable car lines over their tracks in the center of the street. Farther left, busses and automobiles are whizzing by in traffic, while still farther left an empty wheelchair can be seen on the sidewalk, just to the right of the two- to four-story commerical buildings that line the block. Legible signs from left to right read "Jewelry", "Watchmaker", "Long Beach Drug Co.", "La Follette Club Headquarters: Entrance 11 Pine Avenue", "Dr. Bowman, Dentist", "[...] Lewis Jewelry Co. It's Easy to Pay the Lewis Way. 112 Pine Avenue. Best Cash and Credit Jewelers in the City", "Dr. Rimmer, Dentist", "United Cigar Stores Co.", "Rooms & Apts", and "Cliff Dwellers Inn".
