Indeed, thank goodness for film, in the field of preservation of El Lay "as it was". For example, let me just drop two words: Bunker Hill.<br /><br />Again, so very many thanks!rafael stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14420918148607491101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-60237176955296789452014-05-21T12:08:10.805-07:002014-05-21T12:08:10.805-07:00Hi Vienna,

Isn't fun seeing seeing that some (although not all) of the landmarks are still around?Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-79926324784038346912014-05-21T10:10:37.910-07:002014-05-21T10:10:37.910-07:00I love your then and now posts.

At least we have that - the memories :)Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-9627598273542995462014-05-07T13:08:00.574-07:002014-05-07T13:08:00.574-07:00Thanks for putting that all together so masterfull...Thanks for putting that all together so masterfully. I *love* comparing then-&-now location, especially L.A. which was caught on film probably more than most cities...which is good because of the "it's 20 minutes old - tear it down and build something new" mentality so prevalent here.Martin Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601007841962086724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-6552184245618630952014-05-02T09:26:51.497-07:002014-05-02T09:26:51.497-07:00Thanks Paul.

And agree re: some of those houses being torn down to make way for McMansions or real mansions. <br /><br />Loved the pix of Terminal Annex and Olvera Street too. We went on field trips to those, and some of the other places as kids.Paul D.

And yes, the way people have torn down homes of the likes of Jimmy Stewart or Walt Disney to make way for mega mansions, it's amazing nobody has torn down the old home in the hill. Glad to see it still standing.Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-10177907609199197122014-04-29T10:35:09.376-07:002014-04-29T10:35:09.376-07:00A fantastic post.

Your remark: "Over 65 years and the home is still standing. An eternity by LA standards" is particularly poignant. <br /><br />Great post.Jacqueline T.
