Pasadena Freeway

In the mural the very first thing that people would see would be the cars themselves, since the mural is relatively tall and is located on the side of a freeway which allows the drivers passing by to relate to the art piece, this in the end evokes the idea that this metropolitan city of Los Angeles is a haven town and should be recognized as a very beautiful city. Cars are a very important way of life here in the modern era, especially in a huge city such as this, and providing the audience with dynamic colors and a pristine and relatable setting really does set the bar for what and how the city of Los Angeles is defined.

There is no secret that the Houston roadways are empathically and unapologetically grisly. Regardless of where the Houstonians drive, they’re bound to meet catastrophes in the form of potholes, rough terrain and even sudden drop offs. The current state of our roadways is incredibly awful for the safety of our drivers, financial costs on our drivers and the hassle our drivers to endure on a daily basis.

During the 1920s, the automobile industry was growing. There were about ten million registered cars during this time.

As a conclusion for this data, not only does that mean more people in our region but it also means more car on the roads. (Mac Churchill) The population rate is higher than the roads, which means more cars, more congestion and traffic on the highways and alternative roads. The population in Texas keeps growing and growing. This is due to a lot of job opportunities that the states offers. But this also brings the issue that most of the jobs are in the urban area, downtowns. This causes the…

No more vagrants wandering in dark alleys with wrecked shopping carts in their hands. No more electricity powers. No…
