Photograph caption dated September 15, 1979 reads, "No, this is not a photograph taken in downtown Tokyo over the weekend. In fact, it's not even a photograph of actual conditions in downtown Los Angeles...yet. But does any reasonable person doubt that in just a few years time Los Angeles' atmospheric conditions might parallel Tokyo's. If that happens, then this scene pictured, courtesy of some volunteers from the Loch Ness Monster bar in Pasadena, posing for Herald Examiner photographer Chris Gulker, could become a commonplace. And if that happens, then Los Angeles could find itself in a very tricky situation indeed, not to mention hosting a very unusual 1984 Olympic Games."
