Here's A Cool Video Comparison Of The Streets Of LA In The 1940s And Today
This video from The New Yorker syncs up footage of the streets of LA from the 1940s to the same parts of the city today. The difference is stark
How much difference can 70 years make in a city? In Los Angeles at least, quite a lot - in this cool, well-synced video from The New Yorker, much of the modern city’s Bunker Hill area is shown to be completely unrecognisable when compared to its 1940s self.

Well, it’s not that unrecognisable. 1940s Berlin, 1940s London and 1940s Moscow looked more different than today.
Only because of damage from the war though, your case is invalid

And then there’s the speed limits fro L.A then to L.A today
1940s: 30 mph
today: 30 mph…
Not much has changed
Vs havanna… still looks the same xD
The engines in them are japanese though
The funny thing is that the picture is finnish lol
I just love the old days..
They should do this, but with Detroit in the 60s and then now.
Why am I drawn more to the 1940s version of LA? Probably because of LA Noire…
I was looking for someone to comment about LA Noire. Awesome game.
Try to get your hands on the PC version, it should be cheap now. Such a great game
I love how the women dressed back then.
Is this real life? The Audi isn’t tailgating.
