Bringing back Broadway
Photos of Broadway in downtown Los Angeles from the 1930s might be mistaken for Times Square of the same era: street cars, throngs of people, posh theaters and clubs. But that was then and this is... the future? City Councilman Jose Huizar is sponsoring the "Bringing Back Broadway" initiative, a ten-year plan to restore 12 historic theaters and bring back the streetcars to LA's historic mainstreet.
