SUNSET STRIP IN THE 40s

The views of L.A. freeways in the 50s yesterday now gives way to views of the Sunset Strip in the 40s. It’s a cleaner friendlier looking Strip in most ways, though I find it interesting how many of these buildings have survived. The fact that they have makes the Strip a bit of a time capsule in a way so much of L.A. isn’t. The relentless development and redevelopment of L.A. neighborhoods and districts continues apace, destroying what history there was in the city’s relatively short existence. For the record: the building at 1:09 still stands at the corner of Sunset and Sherbourne. 0:56 building is standing too 8619 Sunset Blvd 0:16 building is standing at 8633 Sunset Blvd.
