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.

Comparing any city never gets old. It helps show the history and advancement in technology and techniques in building infrastructure.

Meanwhile any Indian city a couple of decade ago is unrecognizable, like where I live Hyderabad.

Imagine a movie where someone in the 40s accidentally time travels to the modern day and is surprised at how everything is different…oh wait, that’s The Philadelphia Experiment
