Beautiful. Thank You for posting.

[@rockyracoon3233]

I can't get over seeing so few cars parked curbside.

[@jaminova_1969]

They are all at work! The cars you do see are the tradesmen doing work on homes!

[@PalmBeachDog]

That’s because back then you didn’t have 12 people living in a two bedroom house.

[@rockyracoon3233]

@@PalmBeachDog . That's because property taxes are outrageous.

[@romainejayne1811]

WOW!!!!! This is a great watch. I've been here 60yrs. since I was 5yrs. old. The area and the homes look pretty much the same all except the cars are newer and there is less parking on the streets now! lol Thank you for sharing this.

The locomotive at 5:07 was a southern pacific 0-4-0 switcher.

This could be movie studio stock footage. Drive around town with the camera out the window. Put it in the film library to be used whenever needed for a movie.

[@rsyungul]

It is. Shot for background plates for process shots. Probably for Warner Bros.

[@jamesmassey-cc4ml]

My elderly mom grew up in nearby Glendale. She would be about six years old and living on Hawthorn St at the time this footage was shot🤔🤔🤔🤔

'Once Upon a Time'.... reminds me of several communities with the City of Los Angeles during the 50's & 60's even where my dad grew up & grandparents lived from 1930's into 60's on Bronson Ave just below Melrose Ave & Close by Larchmont Village...

Looks like that's down near my Grandma and Uncle Gordy who worked both for the Burbank YMCA and City of Burbank Sports Dept. Down on Lamer street near victory or magnolia.

[@spanishball9449]

I swear the only thing that look 40s are the cars. So long ago yet so close.

[@jamesdouglas5450]

Another great film of the 40s railway verses the automoble .

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

On the trains, notice that there is no graffiti. The rail yard is clean. The society at that time respected their surroundings.

[@azmike1]

Here are the facts: These homes were built, then sold for 7500. dollars each back then. Brand new! A 40 hour paycheck cleared you about 60 dollars a week. After WWII, America's coffers possessed most of the Gold in the world. A gallon of gas was 19 cents back then. Today? Those homes in this film sell for $950,000 dollars. OK?

@Mister Google We wish!

[@bobcuster8930]

This film was lensed by one of the movie studios in Burbank...might have been Warner Brothers...

[@DerBingle1]

Any chance that you have some footage of Ventura blvd. in Sherman Oaks from the 40s/50s?

[@ladyofsaints8782]

So cool

[@rockyracoon3233]

Agree!

[@JohnRinNoHo]

Boring film in 1948, fascinating today.

[@dougmannie4149]

i it wasnt for the cars you could say the is 2022

[@ferdgreenblatt6011]

I saw some cars rhat were definitely 50=51.

[@mendezcreative]

[@emmanuelrichard9129]

Along San Fernando road...

[@surferbri5346]

Tattoos for military and ex cons only back then, not like every poser now

[@jaminova_1969]

I want to live there in the Post-war boom in California, before the decline!

[@maxpayne2574]

With no modern medicine, no AC in most homes no thanks.

[@StationRussification]

What decline? U mean the lie made up by Tea Party Politicians?

[@jaminova_1969]

@@maxpayne2574 This was California 1948. Don't need AC and medicine was what it was. No graffiti. No trash on the street. No diseased tweakers running amok either! I'll take it!
