I am sharing with my friends! ❤😊

Look how big the Pacific Electric interurban cars were that are rolling down the middle of the street. The PE still had a sizeable passenger route system at this time. It would finally discontinue operating in 1961. If you look at the railroad tracks in the street notice that there are three rails for each direction. This is because the LA streetcars used a narrow gauge and the Pacific Electric used standard (4'-8.5") gauge. Also, note the STOP-GO semaphore traffic light swinging its GO arm out at 1:55. Thanks for sharing!

@@newsweathertraffic18 I heard about that. Mental illness has always been with us, but has accelerated since WW2, and especially since 2000. there are many reasons, but I believe humanity is declining on all fronts, only a few of us see that , as most people are too caught up in "living their lives" cogs in a gearcase . a.i will win out . Although nostalgic, these films document how life rolled by us, and we long for what we never experienced, thinking it must be of a better time. A step from that past, put us here today, and forward to a future with which we might not be too pleased.

Those cars were spacious, but cumbersome. Most were 3 speed manual transmission, no a.c., no power brakes or steering, no radio, turn signals, tinted glass, and a host of other things all standard today. They were simple to repair, but had a lot to repair. Do you remember vapor lock or a blowout?😂😂😂

Very few Model A looking cars from the 20s and early thirties even thought car production stopped by the war in '41 and was slow to restart.

This is how my city used to look 10 or 20 years later when I was a kid. Peeps just hustling and bustling no worries of getting carjacked or bullets flying from street thugs with stolen guns.

Another outstanding restoration, as usual. Boy, some of those pedestrians...I think they wanted to become angels...

A nice window to the past, 1946 to be exact. I like old things. ❤😊

So much for me to feast my eyes on and look at. The red Whites were Pacific Electric Motor Coach. The yellow Whites were Los Angeles Railway buses. Besides all of the LARY and Pacific Electric street cars, there were Twin Coach and General Motors buses.

People came in and out of the theater during the movie. "This is where I came in" was a popular expression. No TV's but lots on the radio.

I'm no expert, but the car horns sound about right to me, albeit maybe the honks are more numerous than they should have been. There's an occasional old-timey "ahoogah" type horn in the soundtrack, but since there are at least a few 1920s/early 30s cars in the video, it's plausible that there would be a few older-style honks in as well.

Those streetlights look very old and beautiful. I don't see all the controlled lights like we have now either. Their control over us has gotten crazy and sadly most people believe it is a good thing. I bet those people did not have to be licensed and pay for rip off car insurance!

i think it was really, in 1946, cause you can see at 6:09, the name of the movie out in 1946: smoky with Anne BAXTER!

Oh glorious, glorious! It only took one policeman to control traffic. He’d be murdered today if he tried doing that. Many people abound because there were no malls. Everyone went shopping downtown until the early 60s when malls began taking over. My dad says you would always dress up in suits going downtown even in the 1950s. He got to see the best of L.A. before it became a slum starting around the mid 70s.

People full of energy in 1946... And no microplastics all around like today... Microplastics inflame our brain over the years and this chronic neuro inflamation leaves us depressed, nervous, without energy and with increased appetite. Folks in 1946 had better mental health and more energy...
