Cool "time capsule" view of what streets looked like in the 1930s...


This was shot with a movie camera by someone sitting in a rumble seat as the car was being driven down Wilshire Blvd., in Beverly Hills, CA sometime during the 1930s. I've looked at it a couple of times and note that a gallon of gas appears to be 9 cents. There are also no lanes marked.

I am sure that U.S. 1, our Dixie Hwy. through Lake Worth wouldn't have looked that much different than this view. Interesting to ponder as we think about our city's past during our centennial year.
