Los Angeles 1929

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Los Angeles traffic jam, 1929 style: Wilshire and Western on Feb. 10, 1929.

At the time, real estate developer Henry de Roulet, whose office is in the center of the photo, called it one of the busiest intersections in the world. http://lat.ms/16STBdt
