Los Angeles then and now


A postcard of the Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street intersection (looking up Vine) in the early 1950s, and the equivalent Google streetview today.

Two blocks further north you come to the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, likewise an early 1950s postcard, here looking south along Vine.

A few miles to the south west is this location on Wilshire Boulevard. The Google streetview below shows the two buildings in the right distance which are still there.  For more historic LA scenes, we recommend Taschen's coffee-table book Los Angeles: Portrait of a City.
