I was born in 84....don't really have any memories at all from the 80s....which is shame....this is the decade with the most beautiful music & movies ever made.
Nothing like Hollywood in the 80s, everything was so different, we didn’t have no cell phones. I wish it was the same Hollywood not how it’s now. I have a lot of memories.. I went to Hollywood High, and I have the best time ever..
5:40 towards the end of the video. My cousin Erine (in blue shorts and shirt) crossing the street. It was normal for us as kids to walk on the Blvd. We used to live on Selma Ave. Right around the block.
LA was wonderful when I was growing up. I grew up in Norwalk, Ca. We would go to the LA museum every couple months, Dodger station was a blast. Couldn't get enough of Steve Yeager. Life was pretty much carefree. The beaches were still safe and clean. Fruit stands everywhere.
I was in 1st grade (1984) when we moved to Hollywood. Me and my sister lived on Franklin and La Brea. Not many kids in the area at the time but I remember Hollywood blvd was a playground for us. The few homeless back then were harmless. The pimps, Prostitutes and drug dealers never bothered us kids. Life was so different back then.
So very true... technology definitely has taken over. It's kind of weird and scary. Like, even before technology was big, people always kind of discussed how technology would change human beings for the worse. But when you hear that, you sort of imagine it changing human behavior all at once, in one dramatic way. But the reality is that it happens slowly. But I'm already beginning to notice the effects of technology on human behavior.. people are meaner these days, people are more anxious, and people are a lot more reserved than they used to be. I guess it's because the internet shows us everything. Nothing is hidden anymore. Human beings, unless they try very hard to, can no longer be "blissfully ignorant" about a majority of what's going on in the world or in other people's minds.
Yeah, I get you, I would also like to get some glimpse from my place from 1993/4, when I was 1 years old xd. (I'm from croatia). unfortunately, no one taped interesting things for me : infrastructure, roads, houses, buildings..... and on family photo albums, there are always just pictures of people/family members XD...
01:28 The newsstand on Gower, or Highland? Wasted many hours there in the day. 04:59 Holy sh*t this is "Dorothy the Button Lady", she used to haunt the Boulevard all up and down the street, and hang out in front of the Mann's Chinese waaay before there were cosplay people there. My gf and I lived 100 yards from it and the whole neighborhood used to take care of her. She was totally batshit but tame. She covered herself in buttons, stickers, pins...she was still there when I left 100 years ago. This is true LA history sh*t. Thanks OP!
Born in 73. So early 80's footage blows my mind. Like damn i was actually alive and there and witnessed this first hand !!! But of course just being 7 its hard to remember. I could watch anything from about 78 to 85 all day long
My daughter is the age I was when this video was taken. It's nice to see what everything was like back then. I love seeing how the people react to the camera. People today are so used to cameras everywhere. I hope I can record enough things for her to be able to do the same :)
Thanks greatly for this posting. sure brought back memories. i lived right off Hollywood Blvd in the early 80's,,first on Grammercy, later on Sycamore right next door to the Masquers club, sadly torn down. i actually knew that lady at minute 5:00 but forget her name. there was 'flower lady' too, originally from Massachusetts and came out with serious aspirations to sing and dance. she was a really nice person. i didn't realize at the time that this would consititue the most 'run down' period.
its really amazing considering this is the same los angeles my mother saw when she first emigrated to the u.s... somehow it feels like discovering family history
Feels. For me, that's like looking a Bruegel painting and thinking, "One of those people might be my ancestor..." Or watching old footage of the Battle of Saipan looking for my uncle.
@@paistecat The Central was what now is the Viper Room on upper Sunset strip that's if the Viper Room is still there. I haven't been to Upper strip or Hollywood for many years.. Was On Sunset Blvd left towards Beverly Hills across from Whiskey on right towards Beverly Hills.
It's interesting how people invariably comment on how they remember the good ole' days, when life was simpler, when things were safer, when life was happier, and so on. Those comments are almost always more a reflection of their own lives than of the realities of the time they so fondly remember. The truth is, the Hollywood streets you see in this video were more crime ridden and unsafe than in just about any other point in their history. The fact that you think like that, is a sign you are growing old and out of touch. You have ceased to see magic in the world and cling to a past long gone. You are like those elderly people in this video who more likely than not were walking around thinking the same things you are today, except about the 40s. Don't denigrate the present because it's all you actually have. The past is long gone. You cannot live in it anymore.
The past always seems better than it really was, especially as we grow older. It WAS a simpler time, to be sure, but it wasn't EASIER. And the wistful idea that a world without mobile communication was better is ridiculous. For openers, just consider how many people died for lack of contacting the police or fire in an emergency🤔. We always pine for what we lack or lost but never consider what we have or will shortly acquire. "These ARE the Good Old Days."-- Carly Simon
The murder rate is lower now than it was in the 80s (in L.A.). 1980 had the highest murder rate on record. L.A. is making a comeback with the rail system among other things.
Does anyone remember the lady in the green bikini and red hair who used to dance and sing on Main and Temple in front of the US District courthouse back in the day? If anyone knows where I can find a picture please let me know. Those old RTD buses bring back a lot of memories.
Kelsie LeCrone I was born in 77, so my youth was in the 80's. It really was as cool as it seemed. Haha. But seriously, people had to actually interact with each other. It was great.
Darn it those futuristic RTD buses were cool. All aerodynamic, and kind of quiet. Now the MTA buses are like air planes taking off, all boxy. I was going to ask if there were more 80's footage of LA, and here it is! Thank you! 1:16 The magazine stand is now just a fraction of its size.
It's like being in a time machine that comes from the year 2015 going back to the past of 1985 for a quick observation. Wow, I wonder if all time is on a loop and can really be accessed?
Hollywood Blvd circa 2012 has more street walking weirdos than ever, it's where people go who want to be noticed, etc. It can be just as rough down there today as it was in the 80s or 70s. All part of the frenetic Hollywood energy.
As a young teen I use to kick it on Sunset blvd back then. The hookers started on Normandie and went all the way to Fairfax. They also got prettier and classier as you went along. $20 to start and once you got to W Hollywood it was a $100 or more. However I was more fascinated by the Pimps who were fawned over by their ladies and all drove Cadillacs: De Villes, El Dorados, Fleetwoods. They dressed sharp, extravagant like peacocks; some took it too far and look like clowns. They talked slow and easy and were laid back for the most part. I thought it was an affectation and it kind of was but years later I found out that most were just hooked on Heroin. Makes a lot of sense.
Great video. Love old footage of my hometown. Even from as late as the 90s. I was born in the 80s but have vague memories of walking Hollywood Blvd with my dad back in the late 80s. Also, it's hard to find L.A. natives anymore. Everyone here is from everywhere else. People from the Midwest getting into acting or immigrants from different countries. I'm a true native, born and raised, and both my parents were even born & raised in L.A.
@TheGrayChannel Absolutely. Well said. Gentrification also changed Silverlake and Los Feliz. Wonderful places those before the pretentiousness. Gentrifiers also bugged the Walking Man, probably got him involved in something since he was a doctor, poor guy. Wonder if there's footage of him walking Sunset in the area in the 80's.
I would love to be the age I was in 1980 ...34 yrs young then...But even though I live in North Hollywood since 1962 I did not get down to Hollywood very much in the 1980's Thanks for the great video Alison
I was in HoLLywood sometimes hanging out with my friend Greg MazzoLa who Lived on the corner of HoLLywood bLvd and Cresent Heights . . .We wouLd go to CC Browns for Hot Fudge Sundaes and to the SunsetGriLL for deLicious ChiLiCheeseBurgers ! UsuaLLy we ended up at FLippers RoLLerBoogie
@juki0h Well those were the hairstyles and clothes back then. In 30 years people will probably look back at our hairstyles and clothes today and say the same thing. :)
Well to be fair, there are only "pockets" around the city where people walk. Hollywood Blvd is one of them. Venice Beach is another. Parts of Downtown L.A. and Santa Monica around Third Street is another. Hollywood Blvd. always reminds me of New York in that regard.
I remember her. As a kid we'd drive up Temple and I'd always see her dancing in full strip tease outfit just on the northern side of the building, on the grass. Supposedly the story goes that the man she loved was locked away in the jail or court there and she would dance there until or in hopes of, or waiting for him to be released, something like that. .::Gary
LA had a wonderful music scene in the 80s and 90s with the hardcore movement. Then bands like Sublime and RATM. One of those time periods I wish I was around for, but unforunately I was born in Leeds in Britain in 1990 lol When some people think Los Angeles they think Hollywood, others it's gang problems. For me, I think of one of the greatest cities in the world for music!
I still got to ride on those rainbow buses. If you were the last white passenger on the bus, black bus driver just ignored your "stop" request and didn't stop until the last stop. You had to walk back five blocks.
LA is in a lot better shape now than it was in the 80s. The 90s and maybe early 00s was the peak of Hollywood's ghetto period. This video is only the beginning of the downturn in Hollywood. Now it's almost high end.
Judging by the make of most of the vehicles in this video, and more importantly the porn movies playing at the Pussycat Theater this is definitely 1980. At that time, video cassette porn movies were not readily available. By 1983 this new industry began to destroy porn theaters like the Pussycat. So, it is safe to assume that the Pussycat Theater would be playing new releases at this time. Blondes Have More Fun is from 1979 and Garters and Lace is from 1980. There is a pickup truck at 2:34 that looks like an S10 or Ranger, but both look like models from the late 70s early 80s. There is also a 4-eyed foxbody mustang, so it's definitely pre '86.
Man! Good old memories! I remember that lady with rags! At 4:59. I wonder if she still alive? I also remember General Hershey Bar, he was an anti-war activist that hung out on Hollywood Blvd. There was also this tall skinny black guy who always wore a Mexican sombrero and colorful poncho, he was always walking down Hollywood Blvd.!! Anyone know him? Is he still alive? And there were hookers everywhere anytime of the day with pimps across the street.
yeah I agree, walk in front of the chinese theater and see the musicians trying to hand you a cd and then ask for 5 bucks. lolol OR the movie characters that are there for a bought pic with them. Madam Tussaud's is there now, too as of a few months ago. Alot of tourist dollars, you bet.
The food changed, man. I don't even hold hate in my heart for everyday Americans getting bigger, but rather the greedy food and farm companies who are putting more shit, preservatives, and hormones or whatever else in our foods. It's hard to keep weight off when you're an over-worked American, and companies are putting more shit in your food to save money. It's like we can't catch a break.
That's why I absolutely love your YT channel and I'm so glad to know there are people like you in this crazy world. 😊
I was born in 84....don't really have any memories at all from the 80s....which is shame....this is the decade with the most beautiful music & movies ever made.

Love the rumbling all the old cars made. Gives them character.
Oh wow. I would love to go back to the my Hollywood 80's life.

I think the 80s was the last decade before the us turned to pure shit. Actually, it's been a long time coming.
yeah, the 90s is when everything really started going to shit

I don't even hold hate in my heart for everyday Americans getting bigger, but rather the greedy food and farm companies who are putting more shit, preservatives, and hormones or whatever else in our foods. It's hard to keep weight off when you're an over-worked American, and companies are putting more shit in your food to save money. It's like we can't catch a break.
