It's from the July 13, 1953 issue of Life Magazine. 400 New Angels Every Day, was the title of the article about Los Angeles growth during that time. I believe the photo was taken in Pamona. http://www.grayflannelsuit.net/blog/time-capsule-los-angeles-development-boom-of-the-1950sAnyone know the history behind this photo?
