Wow, great pics, Thanks!

Though it would have been cool to experience it then, you have to hand it to the people who built L.A..

Rampant immigration from other countries is to blame for our problems. Way too many people flock to the major cities which increases prices for all of us.

Yeah it's amazing how L.A looked back then

I know some old timers that have lived in the San Fernando Valley since the 50s and talk about how there was a lot of farmland back then .

LAPL has a great database of photos on their website that is searchable .
You can put in a neighborhood and date ranges and stuff . Pretty cool

View looking east at Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street in 1907. Two little girls stand in the middle of the dirt road.
