Some Things Never Change

The photo at right is from the UCLA Department of Special Collections new Web site, which Kevin Roderick at LA Observed says has "about three million news photos from the original Los Angeles Daily News and the L.A. Times, covering more than seventy years."

The photo at right appeared in the Los Angeles Times on May 21, 1945.

The cutline:
DETERMINEDLY WAIT -- Line of applicants for F.H.A. permits to build houses extends around corner of Main and Ninth Sts up to door of agency, 112th W. Ninth, in long vigil due to end today.
