In 1981 my friend and I parked on Balboa Island and took that ferry @5:30 across to the peninsula to the Balboa Theater. We got out of the movie after midnight and the ferry had stopped running. We had to walk ALL THE WAY back around to Harbor Blvd and then back to the car. Took us flipping hours to walk that 4 or 5 miles.

What corner of South Figeuroa is that opening scene from? I am trying to work out if it's a Pacific Electric Street Car line or a LARY line

@johndaniels651 3 месяца назад

@@samueljonis434 The Clift Hotel was at 2nd and Fig, so it looks as if the hillside would be the west side of Bunker Hill and had they panned to the east (where the building "Clift Hotel" is being built" ) you would be able to see the 2nd street tunnel that runs under Bunker Hill to Hope x 2nd.. Maybe.. Hard to tell. So the street going up is Fig, going north to 1st street, but today that portion of Fig is level but 1st street is still high up, and fig goes under it, traveling north under the bridge . Maybe? So my best guess is the film starts at the south / west corner of Fig and 2nd, with the camera facing north up Fig to 1st street, but again in present day, Fig is now level.

The light poles and light fixtures that you see in the video are light green in color, sumilar to the shade of green that copper turns when it petinas. These light poles and light fixtures are not made out of copper, but they are still seen all over Los Angeles. I work for a company that manufactures replicas if one of them gets pushed over and damaged. Nowadays, they are of course LED.

@damienmitchell1637 2 месяца назад

Speaking of safety features in cars, Ralph Nader pointed out in his book 'Unsafe at Any Speed' that the technology for seat belts in cars had existed since WW1. The auto co.'s knew having them would save lives but they didn't want to lose a few extra dollars per car or risk people driving less. This shows the importance of strong, sensible regulations for the market place because profit seeking will otherwise win out everytime over safety. It's because of Nader that we have mandatory seat belts in our cars today. ✌

Heyyy... in 1965, a Winchell's donut shop opened at Third and Normandie in L.A., a couple of miles west (a block from our house) from that Figueroa and 2nd locale. A dozen donuts cost 65 cents back then. And because I was a donut-craving kid, the baker would drop in a 13th for a "baker's dozen." That came out to exactly a nickel a donut.

Camera starts at (present day) 2nd and Figueroa (South / West corner) facing north up Fig toward 1st street..

Finishing up at that building under construction (the Clift Hotel) which was at 2nd and Fig (North East corner) and abutted Bunker Hill by the 2nd street tunnel.. I think??? (This would mean every building in the LA part of the film is now long gone.)

Yup... .long, long gone. I grew up a couple of miles west in the 1950's and 1960's. That area -- the way the video showed it -- completely disappeared in the next couple of decades, replaced by new high-rise apartments and condos, office buildings and elevated roadways, with ramps up and down and all over the place.

@johnc2438 3 месяца назад

@@gubbah Yes, in the 1960's and 1970's, heavy equipment came and demolished those old houses and apartments and then carved away the hills and flattened everything to ready the area for the high-rise offices and residences you now see from the elevated roadways and ramps and walkways there today. Completely, totally, 100-percent different. Somebody from back then would be completely lost seeing Figueroa and 2nd Street today. The only reminder of the past is the Angel's Flight funicular that crawls up and down the much-changed hillside about four blocks east.
