Magnolia Park, Burbank, ca. 1948. 

Boring film in 1948, fascinating today.

I want to live there in the Post-war boom in California, before the decline!

The train depot where was that located ? Perhaps near the train station in burbank?

Beautiful. Thank You for posting.

My elderly mom grew up in nearby Glendale. She would be about six years old and living on Hawthorn St at the time this footage was shot🤔🤔🤔🤔

Tattoos for military and ex cons only back then, not like every poser now

I swear the only thing that look 40s are the cars. So long ago yet so close.

Here are the facts: These homes were built, then sold for 7500. dollars each back then. Brand new! A 40 hour paycheck cleared you about 60 dollars a week. After WWII, America's coffers possessed most of the Gold in the world. A gallon of gas was 19 cents back then. Today? Those homes in this film sell for $950,000 dollars. OK?

Love this...I was seven years old...and we lived on Riverside Drive between Fairview and Niagra...Apartment bldg my parents bought...I must go by one day and get the address...I bet there is someone on here that lives there...Great bldg...Four one bedrooms and one two bedroom above the garages that my Dad built!!! Carl Hefflefinger was his name...He worked for Paul, White and Carnahan Realty...and the we moved to 3820 Clark Avenue...Loved that house!!!...Sweet, innocent times!!! Be well my neighbors!!!

Best part, no cell phone

I can't get over seeing so few cars parked curbside.

I saw some cars rhat were definitely 50=51.

Along San Fernando road...

This could be movie studio stock footage. Drive around town with the camera out the window. Put it in the film library to be used whenever needed for a movie.

its analog goggle earth

The locomotive at 5:07 was a southern pacific 0-4-0 switcher.

i it wasnt for the cars you could say the is 2022

This film was lensed by one of the movie studios in Burbank...might have been Warner Brothers...

Another great film of the 40s railway verses the automoble .

Any chance that you have some footage of Ventura blvd. in Sherman Oaks from the 40s/50s?

On the trains, notice that there is no graffiti. The rail yard is clean. The society at that time respected their surroundings.

Looks like that's down near my Grandma and Uncle Gordy who worked both for the Burbank YMCA and City of Burbank Sports Dept. Down on Lamer street near victory or magnolia.

241 north cordova, Bessie and ray Elliott your both remembered and missed after all these years

'Once Upon a Time'.... reminds me of several communities with the City of Los Angeles during the 50's & 60's even where my dad grew up & grandparents lived from 1930's into 60's on Bronson Ave just below Melrose Ave & Close by Larchmont Village...

So cool

WOW!!!!! This is a great watch. I've been here 60yrs. since I was 5yrs. old. The area and the homes look pretty much the same all except the cars are newer and there is less parking on the streets now! lol Thank you for sharing this.

what route/address is this? would love to know and compare :)

Back when you could get 5 reefers for a buck
