Ahhhh…..the good ‘ol days!

[@zekelucente9702]

I was born at St. Vincent Hospital in 1961 is so interesting to look back.

This is the city: Los Angeles, California. In the City of the Angels, sometimes a few halos slip. When they do, that's when I go to work. I carry a badge.

"It was Friday, August 5th. It was hot in Los Angeles.We were working the day watch out of Homicide. The boss is Captain Warman. My partner is Bill Gannon. My name is Friday. It was 5:30pm- just about the time Bill and I were ready to sign out and go home. And then, something happened that kept us busy all night."

[@nlpnt]

My name's Friday. Joe Friday. I drive a bug.

[@barondugger]

What Los Angeles used to be. So sad to see it now.

[@michaeltabanao8092]

Imagine milk on the front porch today....... porch pirates stealing milk 🥛 🤦

[@terencem8795]

My, how far we've come!😂

[@mackpines]

3:50 Look at the smog. Here kids, have some asthma! Still bad nowadays but, nowhere near as thick during the “Bad Air Days” of the 60s and 70s.

[@Uhhhhtheuhhhhmewhentheuhh]

This really feels like this wanted to capture the environment of the era, no propaganda or fake smiles, like a archival of suburban life

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally released in 1966.

[@teachgold]

Where were the Helm's Bakery trucks?

[@marstondavis]

'This is the city. It was Tuesday and so hot you could smell the tar on the garage roof...or was that Bill Gannon's shorts?'

[@convoy814]

What year was this?

[@maxjohkna]

Copyright mark says 1966

[@geraldbentley5781]

Wonderful video 😊😊😊😊😊

[@mexicanspec]

The milk man was still running in 1966?

[@jamyla]

In 1963 approx 30% of Milk was Home delivered. By 1975 that was down to 7% It hung around in some places into the 90's.

[@severinjohn]

Was this meant for 2nd graders?

[@barondugger]

Yes. It's an educational film.

[@jmp814]

3:49 Is that fog or smog?

[@user-gg1se7fx2b]

1966 год, в титрах указано

[@ge2623]

"L.A.: A City and It's People" So, it's a comedy or a horror movie?

[@scratchdog2216]

3:35 Never been to CA but I'll bet today's drivers wouldn't consider the roads crowded.

[@genevieveelaine221]

Back when downtown LA was overrun by civilized human beings. Truly depressing.

[@michaelgilbert3713]

💅 🔫 💣

[@ac46589]

Wow, no homeless encampments back then

[@rickfordmorningstar130]

Crazy. I can't imagine why they wouldn't film on skid row. /s

[@danholm4952]

its a oligarghy today thats why

[@rippingmyheartwassoeasy]

Yes! No obese people either eating flaming hot cheetos

[@ge2623]

@@rippingmyheartwassoeasy And a 130-ounce diet Mt. Dew to even it out.

[@JJ-gf5qs]

Wow, homes cost $30k back then, apartments were $100 a month, gas was .35 cents a gallon, and parking was .50 cents all day in Downtown.

[@BR-bj3ot]

A den of iniquity now. An embarrassment!

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

Back in the day when detective Friday would mess you up if you had too much lip with a cop. If you were one of those hippies or dropouts looking to roll an unsuspecting tourist he would take care of business

[@checktheskies5040]

What went wrong here?❤

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

Back when it was a conservative city.

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

No. Just sane.

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

@@kamakaziozzie3038 Funny how the ONLY time it was sane was when it was conservative. What are the chances of that? 🤔

[@jdm1039]

​@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu This video is a typical documentary of the time period, cherry picking what is shown.

[@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu]

@@jdm1039 And it just so happens the golden era as when it was conservative. If it was cherry picking it would be easy for you to show a beautiful well run blue city. Good luck doing that.

[@seneca-rb1vl]

Yes sir! Conservative communities are waaayyy better cause we see exactly how it is nowadays being dark blue and "progressive" :(

[@checktheskies5040]

So what went wrong then? California seems like a experimental facility gone wrong...how much was planned by you know who? Have the laws changed much since this film? ❤UK.

[@Jack-xo2zp]

It was taken over by Democrats. That answer is the same answer for most of the ills of this country.

[@ssanford]

This makes LA look really boring

[@JesusChrist-nf8kq]

My god it used to be boring

[@kamakaziozzie3038]

You need more internet
