My mother was relocated to Los Angeles from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation during this time period. The BIA placed a lot of the relocated Native Americans in the Bunker Hill area during the late 50’s and 1960’s. Thank You. It really gave me insight to her world during that time period.
I’m so excited to see this! I was born in Oakland in 1964, both parents were English professors at San Francisco State, but they moved us back to Ohio-where all of their parents and extended families lived-in 1966. I have a degree in history from OSU and have been published a couple times (only articles but articles in The Ohio Archaeologist quarterly.) I only throw that into in there as a means of letting you know that this kind of video is “top of the list” for someone like me. Thank you for posting this! (I maybe should have waited to watch before commenting but I was just excited to see your introduction!) 👍🏼❤️
I was born and raised on 5th and Bixel in 1951. My parents were dry cleaners (Rachelles French Dry Cleaners) and for a nickel (5 cents) we took Angel’s Flight down, walked through Grand Central Market and bought a lunch bag filled to the top with French fries for a dime! I road on the yellow car(electric trolley) for 17 cents up 7th st. to Mac Arthur Park (Also called Westlake Park) and played in the arcade. I remember “soap box preachers” in Pershing Square. To this day (10-23-23) I remember one saying “you are either wise or you are are otherwise”. My father belonged to the Biltmore Club and took my mother Rachelle Goulet to see Robert Goulet at the Coconut Grove. Robert was not a Goulet and in exchange for keeping it quiet the tickets were free and the table was in the front and he would sing a song to my mother and the drinks were on the house. And that my friends is the tip of the iceberg.
My grandfather, Philip Pita, took me on Angels Flight when I was a little girl in the late 50’s. It didn’t go very far, just up and down the hillside, but I was so excited.
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology Thank you. I have many great memories of my grandparents taking me everywhere. They were the best and I think about them and miss them every day. What I didn’t have in parents, I had in Grandparents. I was blessed.
My Great Grand Aunt was evicted from Chavez Ravine to the periphery of Bunker Hill in the late 1950s. I remember visiting her and her room-made (room-made was the owner of that Chavez Ravine home both shared as my Great Grand Aunt was a tenant and both were elderly ladies).
Great video! This is exactly the type of thing I wish I could do. I love analyzing the scenes and researching them. At 4:22 I think the sign reads "Furnished Apartments", and that is the Dome Apartments at 2nd and Grand. They had a fire on July 25, 1964. This must have been just before that.
Excellent work! I have a ton of 8mm film, along with the Bell and Howell projector and camera, that was left to me by my grandfather. I managed to purchase a bulb for the projector online and my 19 year old son and I pulled up the screen and managed to pull-off a “home movie night” about a year ago. There are several reels of film taken by my grandfather when he and my grandmother flew out to visit my parents and their newborn baby-me-so it is also footage from 1964, just a ways up the PCH. I’m looking for a reliable place to get the 8mm transferred to a more “watchable” format for many cousins who are around my age. My wife and I were married in 1988 and honeymooned by starting in San Francisco/Oakland (the house I was born in is still there on Lee St, just up the hill from Merritt Lake park, and driving down the PCH to stay with friends near San Diego) but I am sure my parents would barely recognize the whole Bay Area, where they lived and worked from 1957-1966. Thank you for doing the work and sharing your videos and knowledge with all of us out here In TH-cam-land. I think we would have been fast-friends if we had ever met-based on some of your introductory comments! (PS-I was watching a video last night that was specifically about the mega drought out there. I still have a good friend who lives in Temecula and he says it’s pretty bad. Here’s sending you all some prayers for rain.) ❤
Thank you so kindly for both comments Greg. I have been doing this for over 20 years but have never been published except her on TH-cam. Not sure that really counts. Your family has a California history and you still feel that connection. It has really changed in the last eight years. I said there were a lot of strange ducks in DC but California is truly the land of fruits and nuts. If I could get out I would but it would mean leaving my wife behind and that’s not gonna happen. Lol she won’t leave because her families out here. Sounds like you have a love yourself for archaeology and history preservation. I would encourage you not to project these films any longer. Celluloid film overtime shrinks and the sprocket holes no longer fit perfectly the sprocket on the Projector. When it’s slightly offset it begins to tear the edges of the sprocket holes. These holes are used for timing registrations when the film is digitized. If you would like help with that, send me an email at officeofimagearchaeology@yahoo.com. By the way you are exactly the kind of person I always hope finds my videos. Thank you so much for watching.
All that up high footage was likely filmed on the observation deck of city hall. It wraps completely around the building. In the middle of the observation deck floor is a large banquet/meeting room.
The white convertible sitting in the parking lot in front of the Cinerama Dome at 8:42 looks like it might possibly be an extremely rare 1954 Kaiser Darrin. Less than 500 were made that year and in total. But it could of course be something else.
When there are a multitude of people who are from , or whose ancestors are from cultures and societies who have not and are not capable of making a civilization like was Made in the USA, in the West and in parts of Asia, as more and more of these people come and multiply, then the inevitable outcome will be a USA more like the cultures and societies of these newcomers. California is a great example of this future civilization. So are many of the major cities in the USA.
I have a 50 foot, 8mm reel titled 'Bunker Hill, Los Angeles, Part 2' - A Jeweled Minute Production. I've never watched it, until now....I think! I can't play 8mm reels, but the description of the route is the same.
I love this movie and bunker hill, question why did the rich leave bunker hill, the plan to destroy it was a huge mistake, 2nd mistake those high-rises are so ugly and they didn't need to be on that hill because there so high they should have them in a different location. its just criminal. At least SF had better planners and you can still enjoy and celebrate the city and no smog. The 3rd crime was tearing down parker center and not make it a dragnet museum and celebrate Jack Webb and its history. I have seen each episode many times because those were better times. What do we have today, fools like grewsome that work for criminals, illegals and China. Question whats the story of the office bluildings next to angels flight before it was moved.
@@jimbicycle I don’t live in LA but using the internet when putting this together, I came to my own conclusions that supports your same grievances. It did take me a moment to reconnect Jack Webb with Parker center but we are in lockstep on the Grewsom Chine collusion. Thank you for watching.
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology Touche' my you tube friend. But I consider myself a decent movie critic as I was in thebusiness for years. Not now. I was born in 1955. Movies like "Trading Places" are good comedy movies. No?
@@azmike1 Holy crap, I defer, you’re an older fart than and I am. I think I probably like it so much because I enjoyed all of those particular comedians. Could also have something to do with the first time I saw it, my family were all together in the living room of our home, laughing our heads off. For the most part I was probably too young to know why, but I remembered as a very good time and I’ve probably watch the movie now a dozen or so times. I have to say, I still enjoy it. In one word how would you describe your feelings about the changes in Hollywood today? I only ask because you were in the business.
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology Terrible. Hollywood is dead to me. But I love old classics with great actors. Panavision. SpectraScope. Movies like The 10 Commandments or Larence of Arabia. And I've always thought that laughing is really contagious. I think I watched Mad World alone. LOL! Take care.
Right on, I’ve always liked that scene from Field of Dreams where he says, “If you build it, they will come”. I built this channel to attract people just like you. Thank you for watching.

This is how cultures and nations are destroyed. The people orchestrating our southern boarder situation know this and are using it to that effect.

The demolition you were wondering about could have been the result of the Long Beach earthquake at 5:54 PM, March 10, 1933.
everyone please remember to click like on these videos , cheers big ears from down under
Cheers right back at ya, from the land of fruits and nuts!😁 Thank you for the great advice and thank you for watching.
Apartments for 50$ a month,WOW that's what I'm saying 🤠🙋♂️🤞
It’s all relative. Rents may have been $50 back then but wages were low too. So, your wage might have only been $200 per month, or less.

I'm sorry. I disagree. The MAD,MAD world movie sucked. It is a madcapped farce with a lot of stars in it. But it was numbing and thick. My opinion.
You don’t understand the humor because you were born too late. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, regardless of how misguided it is.😁
