It had to be very late 1940's if not just into1950 before downtown LA was flattened because at 2:52 in the film for one brief moment you could see a billboard advertising RCA televisions for sale. Televisions didn't start becoming a mainstream consumer item until after 1950.

@@jody6851 I saw that billboard too. Perhaps 1948, but the lack of any of the very popular 1949 Ford seen anywhere on the streets of these apparently L.A. street scenes leads me to believe it's no later than '48. By the way, in 1948 there were over one million televisions in American homes and 108 licensed TV stations in the country.

Very enjoyable to watch. Downtown LA used to be hilly, looking rather like San Francisco, but it was leveled around 1950. In the late 19th century, some of the wealthier people built homes on top, but most moved to other areas when cars became common, choosing not to live right in the center of town. Over the years, the area became low-income. Thus so many of the buildings in this video look run-down. Although leveling the hill took away some of the area's beauty, it needed to be modernized as the center of what would soon be a world-class city. I love the glimpses this video gives of a past era.

As someone who has lived in and around the LA area for all of my life, I can say that this once great city is in horrible despair. The homelessness and open drug use is unreal to see. Crime has gone up and the entire atmosphere of LA and its surrounding cities is that of an area in decline. There was always a "skid row" that was confined to a very small area, but now the entire city is like skid row. Tents are everywhere, it's sad what has happened.

The remaining footage seems to be what could be described as 35mm backdrop for shooting footage with actors in a movie studio later. Similar to a green screen shot today. I'm sure there is a movie that was made with this footage worked in. Great stuff!

The 2 women standing in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT THE BUS STOP @ 2:10 blows my mind! Can you imagine standing in the middle of the road with only two lousy parking stones to block you from oncoming vehicles as you wait for the bus? I wonder how long it was like that before safety protocols were implemented?

A+ I give you, NASS: best past depiction of LA I've seen. Like I'm actually there.

Super-Awesome 1940's scenes ! Nobody is as good as you NASS in uploading vintage real life scenes like this. Thank you ! 😊. I know this is 1940's but what actual year is this? I do see sailors walking the sidewalk at 2:34. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time !

All those people caught on film just going about their day would have had no idea that those moments in time would be on youtube 80 years later.

Check out that smog at 04:12! 🌫🌫🌫 Didn’t realize until a quick search just a moment ago how bad it was even in the 1940s, when visibility could be only 3 blocks. The physics of the smog existing here really shows what a bubble LA really is in. lol Thank you for taking the time to remaster and posts these. 🤍

Air pollution in LA in the 40's and early 50's was scary! Cars in that era were built without any kind of pollution controls. Point sources such as gas stations and small factories had no regulation. It wasn't until the feds passed the first clean air law in 1955 that air quality began to get better. I'm no environmentalist, but I have to admit the federal air quality laws have made a difference.

Utterly fascinating! Please note that they *already* had too many cars at that time! Mind boggling!

I'm always amazed that you we had to stand in the middle of traffic in what were called' "safety zones" with cars going by. As a young boy I was terrified at the closeness they came.

Man, women looked so beautiful in the '40s. The blonde at the beginning was a knockout. Sexy elegance. Fashion sure took a nosedive in the '50s.
