A Look Back at “Rush Hour” in 1960s DC

Take a look back in time to 1960s Washington, DC, when the streets were filled with cars and buses during what looked like "rush hour." See the photo and read the story of the days before streetcar tracks were taken out.

Not exactly rush hour. But, it looks pretty similar to today, minus the streetcar tracks of course.
