Because of the choppiness of the movement, and the dirty scratchiness of the prints, you always felt very distant from the people when watching these old films. Now, we are right there with them. Great restoration!

I love seeing these videos. My mother was born and raised in LA in the 40s and early 50s, and I was born there in 1963. I used to show her videos like this before her diagnosis of Alzheimers. I miss being able to talk with her about the places we knew.

I was at LA Union Station on Monday, 18 March 2024, and there is an exhibit about the original Chinatown that existed where Union Station is now. (The current Chinatown was relocated nearby.) Lots of neat photos of the people and buildings from the late 19th Century through World War II.

The opening scene shows a Type A LARY streetcar approaching a "Shoo Fly" track, or temporary cross over to divert cars away from track work being done. You can ride one of those cars today at the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris, Ca.

6:11 View of City Hall in downtown L.A. -- the skyline sure has changed!

Glad you're watermarking your vids - so many other channels just ripping them off as if THEY did it.

Смотришь и понимаешь, что все эти люди на видео уже ушли в вечность! 🙏🎷

It's surreal to see, in vivid color, the humble workers who laid down the infrastructure of what would become one of the world's largest metropolises. Precious historical footage. Stunning remaster! 👍

I wish I had such high-quality, restored video footage of my hometown.:medal-yellow-first-red:

As a native Angelino your video presentations of old Los Angeles have special meaning for me. I haven’t lived in LA since the mid 60s but much of old Los Angeles was still in existence at that time, especially the buildings and even the automobiles.

The temporary track to get the trolley over to the other rail is called a shoo fly track! Some of the equipment like air compressors for the jack hammers are pulling power from the overhead trolley lines!

So neat to see footage of work crews doing construction, laying RR tracks. Love seeing all the old trucks and equipment. You did a great job with the sound / audio effects.👍

Nass, The sound you inserted into this film is incredible. I felt like I was right there with the road crew, may be riding on the trolly as it took a turn up the street and one of the men gesture. I love your work it is amazing.❤

The film location is East Cesar E Chavez Avenue. The building on the Left with the arched windows still stands today at the Junction with North Vignes Street.

Everytime I watch your videos NASS it's like taking a time machine back to the past. Your work is fantastic. Thank you.

Fantastic trip back in time.Thank you for doing this.

I'm so glad someone recorded these videos, all those people left us a portal to the past and it's truly awesome to see these people and the landscape of that time.
