Photograph of a birdseye view of heavy traffic at the intersection of Garfield Street and Main Street in Alhambra, ca.1920. Two hitched streetcars are pictured at the center of the road, making their way down one of the two sets of tracks embedded in the soil. Behind it, a long train of early automobiles follow. Other autos are parked along the sidewalks at either side of the road, just in front of commercial buildings. Legible signs from left to right include: "Piggly Wiggly. [...] the World", "Cafe", "Hardware", "Drugs", "S.J.R. Furn[iture]", "Garnett's Hardware", "Central Drug Co.", and "Kodaks".
