Sunset Boulevard on this day in 1909, looking southeast from Vendome St. The carriages and streetcars in this photo are celebrating the opening of the Hill Street Tunnel in downtown Los Angeles. The tunnel burrowed through a part of Bunker Hill (at 1st St.) and allowed for a more direct streetcar route between downtown and points west.
