Good shot of the San Francisco end of the Bay Bridge. We have pretty bridges in So Cal, too. That would look good on The Source. Hint, hint.

I looked at this old photo for a while and couldn’t figure out where it was taken until I read the caption on Flickr: it’s the 110 freeway in downtown Los Angeles, looking north from 6th Street. I’m guessing the photo was taken in the late 1950s, judging from the vintage of cars — but I’m not sure. How about that traffic? And where are all the buildings?

This photo is of the old 6th and Main Depot and was taken in Sept. 1963, on the last night before the fomer Pacific Electric and Metropolitan Coach Lines headquarters and station in downtown Los Angeles was closed.

On a visit to Washington D.C. in June, Hans took these photos of the new bike lane installed in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol Building.
The Washington Post explained that the bike lanes were put in the middle of the street to avoid conflicts with right-turning vehicles, parked cars and vehicles entering the road from driveways. Cyclists access the lanes at crosswalks. There was, not surprisingly, some controversy about the lanes and the city actually narrowed them days before they opened.
I like them for the statement they make: bikes just aren’t something to literally be shoved off to the side of the road.

An interesting view of the cab of an old Chuo Line train in Tokyo — looks very pre-computer age.

This photo of traffic on the 3rd Ring Road in Beijing is intimidating to look at — can’t imagine driving it. Attentive readers will recall that Beijing officials and Metro are working together on developing transit — and this photo definitely shows what we have in common with them: traffic.
