_{Air Show 1978 By Gary Krueger.}

I’ll point you in the direction of two stories at The Guardian today. First up, take a long, loving look at the seventies street photography of Gary Krueger.

If you grew up in LA , as I did, the shots will bring up lots of memories. If you spent your formative years elsewhere, not to worry, the images are still well worth a peek. Krueger has an exhibition entitled City of Angels, 1971-1980 at the Joseph Bellows Gallery in Los Angeles through March 19, 2021.

Second, you’ll want to take a look at a brief story outlining Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her secret visit to the White House in 1971.

The Guardian:
“Onassis had been invited by Nixon to attend the official unveiling of hers and Kennedy’s portraits. For Onassis, who had only returned to the Washington area to visit Kennedy’s grave at Arlington national cemetery, the idea of an official event was too much.”
