Before and after
This is the current view where Rick took a pic of this back in 1980. [url=http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3147] Click here. [/url] You can see a lot changed here, but the old poles are still there! The reconstruction required some of the poles to be relocated though. Note the newer traffic lights in the back replacing the old double guys. Double guy signals are still common at many other intersections in the city, including one intersection at Carson and Woodruff with really old late 40s double guys.

BTW the M250A2s are 150w HPS.

Ok which do you prefer, the old pic from thirty years ago or the one taken today?

Neither! I want the one BEFORE Dave was born! Wink

How about a 50s pic? Long Beach started changing to HPS (part of the pacific coast highway) in 1970 and LPS in 1974!

HPS in 1970? That's REAL early!
