Azusa Avenue

I grew up in West Covina and was wondering about that sign in the background. Was that Azusa Avenue? I can't quite place it.

A Smoggy Day

1965 was more-or-less the heyday of smog in LA. Note the misty background. In those days, inland areas frequently reached 50-60 ppm pollution levels. It hurt to take a deep breath and eyes would sting. Nowadays it's a triple-stage alert (and quite rare) to reach 15 ppm. This is progress and should be appreciated.
