Blast From the Past
With full props to my son for finding this ~ a wonderful collection of photographs of old L.A. (as in 1900-1925), along with full descriptions and explanations where possible: http://waterandpower.org/museum/Early_City_Views%20%281900%20-%201925%29.html
Top photo, Spring Street looking north from Eighth Street. The man is driving a Waverley Electromobile ~ obviously well ahead of his time.
Bottom photo, the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena in 1902, the year of the first Rose Bowl game.
