Ghost Town L.A.: Los Angeles city and county during the Covid-19 shutdown- Part 5

 Downtown Los Angeles.  Empty.  March 2020.  A few days after the Covid-19 shutdown began.

 You can often see fairly empty train cars in on the Red Line train under L.A.  But you very rarely see a completely empty car.  March 2020.

 Blue Line train coming in, looking North up Long Beach Boulevard.  Never seen it anywhere near this empty, even late at night.  March 2020.

 Another angle, looking up Long Beach Boulevard in downtown Long Beach.

 Six weeks ago, you would have never expected to see a sign like this in front of your local grocery store.  Now we don't even notice these.  Rapid social change.  March 2020.

 Try getting a photo of this mural, anytime, without a person in the photo.  Downtown Los Angeles, empty.  March 2020.

Juxtaposition.  Downtown L.A.  Not a staged photo.  I just came out of the 7th & Metro train station, up to the surface, to see what downtown L.A. looked like during the shutdown.  Walking around, I cam across this scene.  Steve Emig photos.
