Description
Saint Louis city street before smoke ordinance with marquee for the Saint Louis Theater. The marquee reads, "Dead End Kids / Dress Parade / & Wm. Boyd". A liquor store sign is visible under the marquee. Traffic is in the street, and there is a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The remarkable success of the Saint Louis smoke control program made a strong impression on Pittsburgh, a city confronted with similar air pollution problems. Pittsburgh drew directly from this project to justify and foster its own environmental regeneration. See images SCLS027-SCLS032 for documentation of the Saint Louis program.
