Photograph of traffic congestion and billboards in Century City, ca.1970-1979. In the extreme right foreground, a tight line of automobiles are pictured surmounting a hill. At left, a line of billboards extends along the length of a set of railroad tracks running to the left of a highway below. To the far left, tenement buildings can be seen through a gauntlet of telephone cables. Billboards from left to right read: "Welcome to Marlboro Country", "Now... 5 billion strong", "The aerospace bikes have landed", "KMET 94.7", "Seagram's Gin [...] Now $9.99", and "Century City".
