DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO

On Broadway between 3rd and 4th Streets


I thought the two photos on this page might have been taken at the same time, but they must have been taken just a few years apart.  There's a street car in the photo below, but the last streetcar drove into the Adams Avenue streetcar barn in 1949.  I see a sprinkling of '50s automobiles in the photo above.  In both photos are buses in unfamiliar livery.  Maybe that's what color scheme San Diego Transit was using in those days. The black building above, on the northwest corner of 3rd and Broadway, was a beauty college.  Do they even HAVE those anymore?
