man based on this footage it looks like Los Angeles architecture has regressed, things looked more beautiful back then.

They were certainly cleaner. I couldn't spot a single piece of trash (or used newspapers, etc.) on the streets.

[@MartyKeegan]

The population was small and located mainly downtown and in Pasadena. Very few people lived in Santa Monica for example. Only farms were in the valley-- they grew the most produce in the country. The population for L.A. in 1920 was 380K. In the mid 60s the population jumped to 2.5M. We don't even know for sure how many people are here now with so many undocumented people, but we have at least 11M. There were no freeways. Everyone who lived north of Sunset Blvd in Beverly Hills had stables filled with horses. They used to ride to the beach and into the canyons and valley to hunt. This was a different time-- I wish I had a time machine.

My grandmother, born in 1903, was living in Los Angeles in the 1920's. She told my mom about a hotel she watched being built, unfortunately I have no idea which hotel, but grandma told my mom that they placed giant redwood timbers across the foundation. This was done as an early method of protecting the building during an earthquake, the timbers were believed to slide or roll with the ground during tremors, and the building itself would not move as much.

NASS, I really enjoy the trips that you take us on into yester year. The colorization brings a more realistic and tangible feel to the viewing experience. BTW, I am so glad that technology has progressed to where we can now view older movie footage (1920s and before) in a smoother and more natural manner. When I was a kid, I found older those old silent, black and movies unwatchable and uninteresting due to their awkward and stunted movements. Thanks NASS!

LA seems to have become a metropolis in a very short period of time. It was still pretty much an agrarian village until the later 19th Century. I wonder which boosted its growth more: the Transcontinental Railway, the opening of the Panama Canal, or both in combination so that all the building materials and goods needed for a major city didn't have to spend months in shipment from the East Coast all the way around South America and back up the West Coast to LA. Snagging the Brooklyn Dodgers would still be 30 years into the future from the time this film was first made. That made more of a statement as to LA's arrival I think than even Hollywood. With San Francisco grabbing the NY Giants as a one-two punch at the same time as LA getting the Dodgers, that put itself in New York City's face from that moment on. It took Gavin Newsom to run the state into a ditch from which it will have a hard time getting out of.

[@alanpecherer5705]

Forget not that LA was a major, major oil producer in addition to, as you say, the film industry. Now I don't know if oil was a gargantuanly profitable industry back in the 20's, but you can find pix from the 20's where you can see hundreds and hundreds of oil derricks, especially on the Westside and Santa Monica. There is some aspect of California where the oil discoveries and the burgeoning film industries took their growth-curve cues from the gold rush of 1849 and tens of thousands of people flooded in and threw their money at all sorts of anything they thought would produce profits. What I'm saying is that LA/California has since the gold rush been the situs for expansive dreams and crazy levels of investment, everybody wanted in on the act. This had to have had an outsize influence on how fast the city grew, and these were more or less brand new industries on the cusp of going "viral" that attracted thousands. There was a lot of aviation industry, in LA as well. People saw fantastic opportunity in these new industries and the great weather. What's not to like?

[@jody6851]

@@alanpecherer5705 Good point about the burgeoning oil industry. Yes, I had forgotten about that. I wonder when the Aviation industry really started taking off in California. Right after World War I or later in the 20s or into the early 30s? Maybe just before or just after Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic in 1927 when airplane development started to really take off (no pun intended). Even World War I fighter pilots often described their planes at least earlier in the war as more like motorized kites than solid vehicles in their own right. Also, note that the very creation of the Hollywood film industry in LA was also at New York City's expense. Just like LA grabbing the Brooklyn Dodgers, all the film production companies up to the early '20, which were based in Astoria, Queens, and some in New Jersey, decided to pick up lock stock, and barrel and move to LA by where the weather was more predictable and comfortable, which allowed far more ability to film at any given time outdoor scenes, especially, and more open land to build large sets.

[@jchapman8248]

Imo, in addition to the already established petroleum industry (since 1893), the growth in LA and much of coastal SoCal in the early 20th century was due in large part to a few more important pull factors. The two world wars and the establishment of bases, the related manufacture and aviation industries, the motion picture industry in Hollywood and the produce industry. The year round temperate climate was conducive to all those industries. All of them combined to create jobs and a need for workers/service members needed to fill them. That means population growth due to more people moving out west from other states and service members deciding to remain in LA/SoCal after the wars.

[@alanpecherer5705]

@@jchapman8248 Absolutely. When I moved to CA in 1971, if one day you decided you wanted to be in any industry you could name, knowing nothing about it, you could get a job sweeping floors in under a week and in 3 months you'd be operating some lower-level machine. There was essentially no such thing as being unemployed if you could put your pants on and show up on time.

multiple interesting facts this was at the time when LA was in its EARLY years of the motion picture industry!! Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures was only 8 years old (both established in 1912) Walt Disney was still based in Kansas City at the time before being officially established in LA 3 years later in 1923! Warner Bros wouldn’t also exist for another 3 years as that was founded in 1923 Hollywood annexed into LA city limits 10 years prior which is what further blew LA up because when the movie business touched down in So Cal in the early 1900s it’s primarily focus was Hollywood it wasn’t a LA neighborhood at the time! LA’s population was a little over half a million in the 1920!

to me the most interesting part is all the baby palm trees that would become towering in the coming years
