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

Why am I drawn more to the 1940s version of LA? Probably because of LA Noire
