After spending the last 4 years in Eugene, OR studying at the University of Oregon and spending my time being a Duck, hiking buttes, going to the sand dunes of Florence, OR, and enjoying what the green outdoors has to offer coming back to Los Angeles, CA can be quite the culture shock. The change from Hippies to Hipster or from the environmentally conscious to the...well, unconscious shows in the amount of air pollutant that are absolutely visible. Not that I care, but it has sparked up an interest in smog pollutants in Los Angeles. Here are a few pictures...
Genuine Los Angeles Smog in a can. Just what you need for your kitchen.
1955/1956 list of smog alerts per LA county city.
Even drivers were afraid of the smog. So why buy a convertible then or a car for that matter?
Gentlemen in downtown Los Angeles talking with a Police officer.
Same two Gentlemen as above.
A meeting of the Optimist club with a sign behind them saying,"WHY WAIT TILL 1955

How very optimistic!
And a little something to lighten the mood.
