Venice Beach 1920
Marineland (Palos Verdes) Undated
Twenty three years ago
The 405 (San Diego Freeway, even though it didn't go to San Diego) in 1962, view looking north into the San Fernando Valley. Probably around 7:30 AM, right?
Hollywood Freeway Construction 1953
Opening of one-half of the giant Colorado Freeway Bridge in Pasadena, 1953.
The opening of Topanga Plaza, 1964. Rocketdyne is visible on the left side (east) across Owensmouth avenue.
LAX 1962, almost looks like you could drive up 30 minutes before takeoff. No bulldog security cops in the streets. No double decker terminals. Look at that parking lot.
Pacific Electric Car 5111 On San Fernando Valley Line Circa 1950. What a great shot. Note the man taking a photo on the far left.
Los Angeles map 1941 (You really have to expand this to appreciate it.) Note all the little airplane symbols indicating airports.
