Then & now_E Balboa Blvd 1940s vs 2020s. Newport, LA. Wonderful California 'Historic' drive 

Those buildings that are seemingly still around 80 years later are legends.

I stayed at the house at 2:35 back in 2019 for a week. 501 East Balboa Boulevard. So cool to see it back in the 1940s. A beautiful little house less than 30 seconds walk from beach.

The Pac Bell/At&T building still there!!! I remember when it flooded and I was there to restore the phone service. This video is from my in-law's time down there. My wife's grandfather was offered Balboa Island when it was a sand bar and he co-owned Newport Dunes. To this day, we keep our trailer at Newport Dunes for weekend use. Great show of memory lane. We should do the 80's till now and show how a lot of those buildings were there until the big builders came in

I love these old days vs. nowadays videos. Makes me wish I had a time machine. Especially if I could take a couple of cars back with me.

This is where I live I rode my bicycle and driven that street my whole life thank you for doing this

Nice to see, some of it looks better now which is surprising and happy to see certain trees still survive from the 1940s to l now.

It is interesting to see cars from 1920s and 30s, it's just like cars from 90s and 00s in our days

Wow these are great! It's like time travel from the comfort of your living room. Nice work!

Very nice indeed excellent work👍. Its a valuable thing to see all that has changed. In many respects its looks better now. Although delvopment is inevitable. You have to think 50 yrs prior to the old footage being shot there would have been virtually nothing there at all....barely even a road most likely.

I would love to live in those days. I was born in the early 50s. So simple back then.

80 years! WOW .. Almost all new people.

Well done! I love these before and after shots.

Finished up at the old Penny Arcade!

That was absolutely incredible! Is there any more involving Newport beach? Brings back so many memories. Thank you for sharing this.

I so miss my home state. If you have the means, take a couple of weeks and spend them in Newport Beach walking around the Balboa Peninsula, and Lido Isle. Worth every penny.

This was awesome! Thank you.

Incredible!

Fantastic!!

You are insanely awesome for doing this 👍🏼

Spent a lot of my younger years renting and exploring the peninsula....love all those old bungalows

Really interesting.

Спасибо. Интересно увидеть историю моего города.

This is a great job on a project that takes a lot more work than people think. I'm glad to see some areas of California haven fallen apart.

Watched it twice because I live in between Island Ave & Medina. This was a pleasure to watch the old & new. Thanks!

Spent many years from 1991-2008 poisoning my liver on this stretch of Newport(lived in a couple different party houses on the peninsula) I wish I would have done things differently. Would be nice to get back the tens of thousands of dollars I spent on beer in all the bars on the peninsula too.

Wow!I live there never knew the before

Mais bonita, antigamente. Parabéns pelo vídeo.

@KakToTak-Ive watched a couple of these … vs … vids now, and I find them to be very creative and satisfying. I can imagine it’s quite a bit of work to edit together, but please continue to make them. Much appreciation. 😊🙏

I love these types of videos. Could you do one with a split screen so both the then and now shots can be viewed at the same time? Great job regardless.

My old hometown. The alleys were still dirt roads in the seventies! Once the yuppies figured out this was prime real estate - it all changed-- haha.

Much nicer, neater, tidier, ugly lamppost free, today, but I just ❤ the look of those old cars.

Who else wanted to click "Start" when it came on the screen?

In 1955, we stayed in a brown house on Balboa Blvd. It could have been the one at 1.11.

this is so cool haha

Loved it! Can you do a PCH from Newport Beach to Dana Point?

Oh, take me back, I`m begging please, take me back, I`m on my knees? Back to a nation of sanity. I`ll take any of those old Junkers, for I can still grind gears.

Woodie at 1:00, woodie at 2:23, woodie at 2:26 with tailgate down.

Stuff looked even better before lol

Must be summer of 1948, as the trolly tracks arr gone with just a few remnants left and I saw a 49 Ford, which hit the streets in the spring of 1948.

You can see remnants of a streetcar line in the wide paved over median strip (1:24) probably disappeared late 1930s/early 1940s.

Anforgettebol

What movie was being played at the theatre in the 40’s?

@5:55 not what I expect for someone dressed in the 1940's

How did you put those LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY icons on your screen at the very beginning?

Тумбалалайкааа!

WOW. GREATTTTT VIDEO. THEY SHOULD SHOW THIS IN SCHOOL. I AM SHOCK IT LIKE A GHOST TOWN. BACK THAN HUMAN POPULATION WAS SMALL, NOW IT LIKE INSECTS. BILLIONS OF PEOPLE. LOOK HOW SMALL THE TEXACO GAS STATION. NO SKATE BOARD AND BEACH BIKE .. LESS TRAFFIC.

it miss 40s cars ......

Did Ciros become Whiskey A-Go-Go?

Мне кадется или раньше красивее было ахха окуратно все так .

Спят устальіє старушкі. С путькіним

I couldn’t see any video, just a black screen while the music played.

A big problem with colorizing is that it makes many of the cars look dirty.

first track please..?

Newport Beach is not Los Angeles. Even if that's where they get their TV channels.

If those horns were added, they ruined a lot of it.

Pre invasion California. How nice it was.

Came here from the Sunset Blvd video, in which I thought both eras were equal: trashy-as-always Sunset. But in this one, Newport/Balboa Village is definitely improved today, and those who say otherwise are nursing a political agenda. I note many interesting buildings are still there; the surroundings are spruced up and nicer. More greenery, less matchstick telephone poles.

Can you spot the difference in 80yrs of (supposed) global warming?.

The music just SUCKS.
