    What the heck is going on here?

    Looks like an L.A. freeway - relatively new one at the time the pic was taken. Big crowd of people around the off-ramp......

    I'll go to the K.C.E.T. site (Public TV station in LA) and find out more......

    EDIT: It's the Santa Monica Freeway - one I've traveled many miles on....
    Before it was built, I remember visiting my aunt in Pomona (eastern edge of LA county - about 60 miles from home), and we had to travel surface streets all the way into downtown L.A. before we could pick up the San Bernardino freeway


    Here you go...

    The Kaiser Manhattan in this photo looks just like the one sitting in my Father-in-law's garage. Same color. Cool to see one in it's original habitat.
