Years ago someone posted the first picture in a similar type of thread such as this one and I went looking for more about it. I found a blog with information about this and will link and info here.

Time Capsule: Los Angeles Development Boom of the 1950s
quote:
In its July 13, 1953 issue Life magazine ran one of many photo essays on the city of Los Angeles. This one focused on the immense population and development growth the city and surrounding area encountered in the late ’40s and early ’50s. Here then is a gallery of the most interesting photos — some unpublished — that went into its story called “400 New Angels Every Day.” There were all shot in either December ’52 or July ’53 by J. R. Eyerman.

A paragraph from the blog I omitted in the thread above which links to another blog post follows:
Time Capsule: Los Angeles Smog, 1954
quote:
Less than two years after this piece ran in the magazine, Life published another, less sunny L.A. story — this one about an October 1954 smog emergency. You can see those pics here.
Time Capsule: Los Angeles Smog, 1954
quote:
On the heels of a major Los Angeles, California smog emergency in October 1954, Life magazine ran an article on the crisis in its November 1 issue. It was called “Blight on the Land of Sunshine,” and it showcased some rather surreal images of both the smog and the way L.A. citizens chose to deal with the smog. Here is a gallery of images — published and unpublished — that photographer Allan Grant captured for the article.

Kafka, that building from your picture is still West High School and still in use. It was built in 1888, IIRC. It's been well-maintained and renovated in keeping with its style over the years.

I was there - 10 years old - on the 50 in the topmost row. I remember that run back. I thought the stadium was going to collapse.
I was too.
We are born in the same year. Rode the public bus to the game with my friend and his big brother from Harahan.
Ate hamburgers at Franks Frostop after the game. It was an experience I had almost forgot about.
