I really appreciate this! The most rewarding part of this work is when someone else finds it useful, inspirational, or even thought-provoking. Thanks so much for watching!
I knew that area back in the day. So very different now. Good job digging out the historical photos. I remember the DeSoto cars too. Out of production about 1963. The picture of that you called Fatburger looks like a hot dog stand that was on Florence maybe around Normandy or Vermont.
Tom! It’s always great to hear from you and your perspective! I wish I had more access to photos. So much of this stuff is difficult to come by, but when you can find it, it makes the region’s architecture make so much more sense
Thanks so much for this! And yes, I love this song, too. It captured the mood and tone of what I wanted this video to capture. All of my music comes from the TH-cam audio library. This song is from E’s Jammy Jams - th-cam.com/video/pclM6Rezkrk/w-d-xo.html
@@SouthLARecap I was a super of an old 1920's condo building some years ago on the East Coast, and I came across a business card like that behind some drawers in the workshop. Apparently Dizzy Gillespie used to live in the building because I occasionally found junk mail addressed to him from the AARP in the recycling. Thank you for another history lesson 🍻
I think it might be from when the phone company realized they were going to run out of 5-digit phone numbers, so they added a "neighborhood" or "exchange" prefix, based upon where the Operators were centered. Hence the HOllywood exchange, AXminister (Crenshaw/Baldwin Hills), FRontier (So. Bay), etc.
Could you keep doing segments like this?
I’d be happy to! Thanks for watching
Wow, just wow. These images speak multiple stories, all at once. Coming back in a few months, to read all the comments. Great job, sir.
I love this and truly enjoy your content. Keep up your excellent work
Thanks so much, @redrose1721!
Wonderful then and now images! Thanks for sharing.
These classic photos never get old 🖼️ I've been to that Carwash, George Washington Prep, and New Antioch to name a few 😊
Nostalgia has a way of reminding us of the past and wishing for a better future. Great video! So creative and innovative!

Great video! Brief but insightful: transformation on so many dimensions. The music is beautiful. I'd love to know what it is.

@@SouthLARecap Thanks!
What happened? The people? The laws? The politicians? All so attractive, neat and clean then. Now, ....Jesus help us to make it a better place.
still looks nice just shootings and killings you know
Reagan became governor and then President .. both times he systematically destroyed California
Please do a segment on Dolphins of Hollywood and Central Ave
those old adverts that have phone numbers listed with words like "PLeasant - 9 - xxxx" because you had to speak to an operator to place each call.
I’ve wondered about that. Thank you for sharing this!

There are a lot of videos out there, telling us the 50s were bad- then theres the truth- much ,was better- duh,of course not everything !
Remember it's just a conspiracy and i must be racist 😂
Remember, white supremacists love conspiracies.😂
