December 30, 1940. The Freeway

 The Arroyo Seco Parkway, California's first freeway, opened.


I don't know what I think of this event.  It was no doubt necessary, but it also was an early sign that California was becoming congested.

It's hard to admire in any sense what California has become, and there's a lesson in that for everyone.
