Oranges for Sale

[ click to enlarge ]

On the Overland St./Santa Monica (10) Freeway overpass bridge, looking West a few afternoons ago. Illegal immigrants go into the supermarkets and buy oranges and flowers, and then sell them at markup on crowded freeway entrances. It's a useful (if very dangerous) service, and these guys end up making a lot of money out of it.
