Causeway and Vets, 1957




Opening of the Causeway Bridge..
Note the water tower, in the background, that's on the I-10 S Service Rd right between Causeway and Severn.



That's probably some of La's most expensive real estate today...

That picture is from 1961. It has nothing to do with Hitler or the Third Reich. History, learn it.


Many historians consider the fall of the Berlin Wall to be the final act of WWII in Europe. History, learn it.

Jesus Christ. Just as many historians don't. That photo still has absolutely nothing to do with Hitler or the Third Reich.

The Wuppertaler Schwebebahn, (Germany) the oldest electric elevated railway, 1913
quote:

The Schwebebahn is also famous for an incident in 1950, when a young circus elephant named Tuffi was given a ride as a stunt.
Tuffi apparently was not a fan of the railway, causing a ruckus on board that led to her falling out a window, dropping 12 meters to the river below. Tuffi survived with just a scrape, living to the age of 43.





Tracks of the Berlin elevated railroad stop at the border of American sector of Berlin in this air view on August 26, 1961. Beyond the fence, communist-ruled East Berlin side, the tracks have been removed.


East German VOPO, a quasi-military border policeman using binoculars, standing guard on one of the bridges linking East and West Berlin, in 1961.


Typical of East Berlin measures to halt the escape of refugees to the west are these bricked-up windows in an apartment house along the city’s dividing line October 6, 1961. The house, on the South side of Bernauerstrasse, is in East Berlin.



East German border guards carry away a refugee who was wounded by East German machine gun fire as he dashed through communist border installations toward the Berlin Wall in 1971.


I'll repeat that real slow 1 9 7 1.
That's not that long ago kids.
