Photograph of a view of Pico Boulevard [?] looking east from Rimpau Boulevard [?], 1936. In the center foreground, the intersection of the two roads is pictured, a traffic light on Pico displaying a sign that says "Go" at left. Sidewalks flank the boulevard to either side, along with a line of short trees. Automobiles are parked along the curb at either side, while in the center, others can be seen moving along the pavement, with a streetcar visible in the distance. Additional information: There is a very strong possibility that this is either Olympic Boulevard looking east from Rimpau Boulevard, or Rimpau Blvd looking north form Pico Blvd.
