I did a series of posts two years ago for the 70th anniversary of the Arroyo Seco Parkway. You can find them here.

Love that car! A Buick maybe? And the photo is so sharp and clear. Must have been taken with a 4x5 Speed Graphic stopped down to get lots of depth of field. Great stuff. And there's "825" written in pencil on the negative. When I worked in the "morgue" (library) at the El Lay Ex in the 1950s we'd write short captions on the margins of the 4x5 inch negatives so we could identify the scene in case an editor wanted to use it later. Try that on a 35mm film frame! I wonder if 825 means the date 8/25.
