What a great project this would make for a "Then & Now" video. Does anyone know where that street is at 7:26..??
Here, in Southern England, I tried to grow those palm trees. They were growing well and got to about 7 feet high. Really cold spells during the last two winters killed them off. We'd had rather mild winters before that for about 18 years.

i hAVE SEEN THIS FROM HERITAGE SQUARE,CA

I was born in downtown's Los Angeles General Hospital in 1952. I didn't know it until many years later that Marilyn Monroe was also born there.

Even though we lived in the San Fernando Valley(in Van Nuys; I was born in Canoga Park), I was baptized at that Plaza Church in 1965.

The latinos dressed so classy then.

I place this to be around 1915. the cars and Pershing Square, being "Central Park"... right after WWI it changed names to Pershing Square.... the street scenes.. and i think the first traffic lights downtown were about 1923ish.. I know and have seen photos of COPS on boxes in some intersections.. can anyone truly DATE this film?

I bet the "Chinese Restaurant" at 3:17 were really run by Japanese.

Wow all these people bemoaning "the good old days" would be the first ones snivelling about "how terrible things are" if/when you were to be transported back to those "good old days" you so pine for.
BTW: all that you see in Downtown L.A. was moved to the Wilshire/Mid City area starting around the late 40s only to have Wilshire area itself supplanted by West Los Angeles in the late 1970s. All that "whiteness" of old Downtown L.A. is now residing in West L.A.

On many levels, the 1920s were better than now.
...until 1929 anyway.

Omg I wish downtown LA still had that kind of pedestrian activity. The part when it showed the shopping district. And Los Angeles should have kept their street cars.

What an absolutely wonderful time capsule of my native city. I'm always hungry for visuals of the Los Angeles that was and this was a tremendously satisfying snack. Thank you so much for sharing this.
