DescriptionAmerican Avenue in Long Beach, ca.1924.jpg
English: Photograph of a view of American Avenue (later Long Beach Boulevard) in Long Beach, ca.1924. To the right, traffic seems to be backed-up while a bus in the distance makes a turn in front of a nearby highrise building. At left, the road appears to be relatively free, one lane of traffic moving by the parked cars at left and the streetcar tracks at center. A number of commerical buildings with canopy-shaded windows can be seen to either side, lining the blocks. Farther in, these buildings give way to taller hotel and apartment buildings.; Legible signs from left to right include:"Tailors","Moore's Reality Shop","Books","Electric Gar[...]","Moore's Public Market","Hotel Rolston","Bakery","Mira May's [...]","Hotel Metropole","Rooms","Drugs","Auto's Garage","Frank L. Darling, Chandler&Cleavland Automobiles. Moreland Trucks","Hardware","Slatts for [...]","American Pharmacy"and"Long Beach Radio Shop. Grebe Radio".
