View of President Carter, atop his armored limousine, waving to the throngs gathered at 9th & Pacific Avenue on September 23, 1980. He is facing north toward the (Old) City Hall. With Secret Service agents anxiously watching the crowds, the President unexpectedly decided to give his supporters a good view as many of them could not see beyond the 15-person-deep crowds. President Carter was in town for a mere three hours on a whirlwind campaign tour.
