Having lived in LA for about a long time now it’s very easy to become cynical and jaded, but then you see photos like these and you realize why you fell in love with the city in the first place. It’s beauty, historic significance, and the all the character from the past that’s still alive today. I found a some photos via the Vintage LA Facebook page of many of the streets I frequently pass. How awesome dose the Cinerama Dome now the Arclight off Sunset look with practically nothing around it?
Hollywood & Vine. The intersection still looks crowded, but folks are wearing far more clothing and I don’t see any creepers trying to “holla” at the ladies. Clearly pedestrians have the right of way as all traffic stops for a group of people.
Hollywood & Highland back in 1902. Talk about growth, now this is tourist and tour bus hub with the ginormous Hollywood & Highland complex next to Gruaman’s Chinese Theatre.
Hermosa Beach 1942. Far before landing it’s nickname “Bromosa” the quaint little beach doesn’t appear to have the same amount of bars or boys as it does now.
But what really caught my eye is that the orange hair model used for the image above actually reminds me of the MAD comic book/TV character.
