  • Any idea what this was shot on? What was the iso/asa? Just curious how bright it is.

  • Certainly. It was shot on VHS-C tape running through a Zenith camcorder that I was running while my brother drove the car. Hope this helps!

  • The dawn of the Golden Age of Hip Hop, sad it had to end around the mid late 90s. Thanks for posting.

  • Change all the signs into Spanish, change the eateries to outlets for cheap Chinese shirts, close some of the theaters and arcades, and we have the LA of today.

  • this is just so fascinating to me !!

  • @shadow0106 amazing :) i wasnt alive in those days but it reminds me of when i was really little in the late 90s so i kinda know how you feel...somewhat..idk it just gave me a weird deja vu

  • wowwww....LA in the 80s ! the people look so different, the way they dress their hair and the cars ! omg i love it, it's amazing...and to think michael jackson was somewhere near there and how cool he looked back then omg :) thank you for posting !

  • but the youtube it is not already on 1988 but where are you recording in youtube

  • Downtown Los Angeles is so beautiful<3

  • At :20 you video taped my childhood favorite go-to Toy store! Loved that place, so crowded and narrow filled to the ceiling with toys, and it was a tall interior! Downtown by then had become a total mess, lots of junkie stores, dirty, terrible. I dont miss those days but I have a scant few favorite memories. Now its not too much different other than gentrifiers coming in thinking its a great place. Not for me.
