1906 auto-guide to LA crossed with Google Maps

Mack sez, "Most people who buy nifty old books look at them a few times and shelve them so they can gather more dust. Dave Bullock found a 1906 electric coach tour guide of downtown Los Angeles, scanned and uploaded the vintage photogravure images, then constructed Google Maps mashups showing the location of the 1906 tour's landmarks with photos of how those buildings look today. Neat to see how much has changed, and which buildings still stand in downtown L.A." Link (Thanks, Mack!)
