BENGSTON...is not only a LEGEND but NECESSARY!! Thank you Sir
Fascinating historical pictures of Charlie Chaplin filming spots. Love the idea of explaining the pictures it gives the video so much depth and added meaning. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Beautifully done.
I believe the 3rd floor of the old college was removed to meet a new earthquake code in the 1930's. wonderful video!
Very good job. Impressive. Thank you.
fantastic job thank you very much really enjoyed this
The tremendous amount of research that went into this is beyond comprehension. Very educational, even for someone like me who is not familiar with Los Angles. I’ve never been there.
Marvelous work, thank you. I'm so glad this ended up in my recommended feed.
Wonderful presentation! I loved it!
Wow John, you really outdone yourself, this is an exquisite piece of work

Ty for posting this! Charlie, Edna, & Charlie's Stock Co. are all favorites. 🎬
great work was lucky enough to visit oliviera street a few years ago
Growing up in L.A., there were several school and camp field trips to Olvera Street. We always looked forward to these outings. As kids, we were taught how to bargain at this unique and fun Mexican marketplace. One could buy candy, piñatas and lots of hand crafted items. It once was a promonate tourist attraction.
Once again, John, you've made a wonderful presentation revealing the actual shooting locations for these films.
Very interesting, thanks!
This is very interesting!
Wonderful! What an incredible amount of effort to assemble this - Thanks!
Wow. Rough neighborhood even before they demolished the original Chinatown and put up the new Union Station. It's mostly all train tracks and the Men's Jail off N. Vignes. Today the 101 divides all this from Little Tokyo and Skid Row. Amazing how almost none of the roads were really paved yet.
Utterly Boss!
