Content description:
The notation on the back of the photo reads "Portion of Grove Shafter freeway halted by court injunction." The stub of the Grove Shafter freeway is at the upper right corner of the photo. The bulk of the photo shows the land of the southernmost section of the Freeway. There are large cleared areas and vacant lots on most of the land areas, but also a goodly number of houses, apartment buildings, and commercial property still standing. The Nimitz freeway, which is the intended southern end of the Grove Shafter, is at the bottom of the photo [almost by the year 2000 standards practically vacant JM 10/31/2000].
