Old los angeles

Here's what Los Angeles looked like before the stars came.

LA is looking a lot different these days.

This glamorous old building is said to have inspired the Tower of Terror.

I’m wondering if this woman waiting on the corner of Hollywood and Vine had just booked a ticket at the American Airlines office that opened in 1955. MGM’s “Something of Value" starring Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier at the Pantages Theatre came out in June of 1957. The corner now has a different sign alerting passersby that they’re at Hollywood and Vine, and it’s nice but there’s something classy and timeless about that golden ribbon above the woman’s head that I wish was still there.
