And this is why I get on RUclips every night to look back at my past..... a better happier time than the present. Which sucks.
The good old days it was definitely the best years in the 1970cs . I wish I could go back in a time machine ‼️‼️ I. Really miss does years .. I will never ever going forget the good old days memories that I had . I truly miss it very much 💕💗 😢 🥺
I moved to LA in 1975 right after college. It was magical. The light, the smell the weather, the canyons,.....stayed 35 years and miss it everyday.
Thank you for your sincere memory! Living in Los Angeles in the past must have left you with unforgettable memories.
There was also a lot of smog in those days which was unhealthy for all people!
I was 29 years-old in 1978, and living on the East Coast. Life was simpler than it is now that's for sure. When your young, anytime is a good time, with certain exceptions of course.
Sounds like an interesting time in your life! Nostalgia for simpler times can be very strong. Something about your experience will always be special.
Great photos. It's amazing that by the late 70's so many of these Art Deco buildings still survived. A then-and-now video would be cool to see how these locations look now.
Thanks for your comment! It's great that so many Art Deco buildings continue to impress and inspire. A "Then and Now" video would certainly help us appreciate the uniqueness and changes of these places over time.
Charming pictures.
These are great vintage photos of Los Angeles in better times. I see photographs circa this period and wish we had a Time Machine.❤
Of course, old photographs give us a glimpse into the past and make us think about how interesting it would be to immerse ourselves in those times with the help of a Time Machine. Nostalgia often makes our hearts stronger!
Thank you politicians for f’n things up.
Many great examples of ART DECO style.
Благодарю за вашу оценку!
This is the real Los Angeles. The L.A. we all dreamed about.
Totally agree with you! This is exactly the Los Angeles we dreamed of and which inspired us with its unique atmosphere.
Q the song "Beach Baby" by First Class....and y'all do me a favor and dance like no one watching!!!!!
Thanks for the looks!!!When I first moved to LA. At the time, didn't realize what we had!!! Miss it!!!!
Thank you for your feedback! Sometimes we need time to truly appreciate what we have. I hope your memories of Los Angeles will always be pleasant!
Kudos to the guy that had the foresight to photograph these old businesses- especially the art deco ones from a much earlier time than the 70’s. I wonder which of them might be standing today.. without having been turned into a Starbucks or Mickey D’s
Through these photographs we can gain insight into the richness and diversity of Los Angeles' architectural heritage. This inspires the preservation of the city's history.
Many of the buildings are still here. Thanks in great part to the LA Conservancy which started in 1978 to save the Central Public Library from demolition. Wonderful organization. It's the largest in the USA.
0:42 I always think of the Movie "Miracle Mile" 1988, when I see Johnny's on Fairfax
"Miracle Mile" really created a unique atmosphere, and Johnny's on Fairfax in this context brings back memories of the famous film.
I loved that film. 🎥
@@nanny287 I'm glad the film made a good impression on you!
The building is still there, but not a working diner open to the public anymore. It's available for private events only. Maybe they'll open it again since a new subway station will open across the street in 2025.
Went to Pepperdine when it was as the picture shows. Back then it was Pepperdine College.
It's great that you can remember those days! Pepperdine College must have had a special place in your life. Thanks for your memory!
Awesome 😊❤
Looks like a great time to be in LA.
Great
Miss the days of Bobs Big Boy and two screen neighborhood movie theaters. Anybody else remember being as young as 10 and 11 and parents would drop you off at a movie with a friend and then pick you back up when the movie was over?
Yes, those were golden times!
Bob's Big Boy in Burbank is still there. It's the original one. There is another one in Downey, California. I think there are a couple more, but they're all in California.
Some real characterful old school gas stations. The kind where the proprietor would come out to you and check your oil and tires, no need to download apps or anything 🤠
The nostalgia for such gas stations makes you think about how nice it would be to go back in time and experience this unique experience again.
LA sure was a beautiful place back in the 70’s. I moved to Pasadena from Cleveland in 1976 and couldn’t believe how clean and well kept everything was. After moving to Nevada in 1978, I didn’t visit LA for several years and was totally disappointed to see how it deteriorated in a short time. Looking at it now is heartbreaking. I believe it’s beyond repair. I’m just glad that I got to experience it when it was nice.
It's great that you have memories of Los Angeles at its best that will stay with you forever.
trying to buy a house in 1979 was around 11.20% not so good as inflation was run away. Well at least we had disco!
It's a really interesting comparison of economic conditions and cultural aspects of the times. Discos truly became a symbol of the 70s and 80s.
I lived in L A (sort of, Huntington Beach) from 1951 to 1977 (with a 4 year break in the Navy) and then movrd to Sweden. Don´t miss it a bit.
How well are the Swedes getting along with the "Newcomers"?

The good old days in some parts of town, lucky I survived some other parts of town. I was there, and I survived the only parts I miss are my friends and my youth.
Memories of friends and youth are an important part of our lives and can provide the most vivid memories of the past.
Seeing a woman like the one in the thumbnail now would be like seeing a unicorn.
You need to do one for Orange County, CA.
The old Four Star Theater on Wilshire? 3:12
The Fox Theater, Westwood Village, also known as the Fox Village Theater, is a historic, iconic movie theater in Westwood, Los Angeles, California in Westwood Village. It is located in the heart of Westwood and just a couple minutes from UCLA. It is currently operated by Regency Theaters under the name Regency Village Theatre. The theater was one of the leading cinemas in the history of cinema.
@@VintageVista956 okay thanks, It couldn't have been the 4 star then
So many of those cars (like at6:31) may hsve been dreadful barges, but don't they look amazing
Despite their size, many of these cars had an elegant and sophisticated design that still fascinates with its beauty.
Nothing could compare with CA in the 70''s. Unfortunately all that has changed and you couldn't pay me to live there now.
It's a shame you can no longer enjoy what California offered in the past. But your memories of those times will always be with you.
Sure wish we had a time machine to escape this crappy inflationary and immoral era. Thanks for the great remembrance of better days!
Times change, and sometimes you want to escape the complexities of modern life. I'm glad our memories could bring you some comfort!
@mark I understand the sentiment but as far as in my life, I got robbed three times in SoCal in the 70’s. One was in the gas station, hadda lie down on the floor with a gun held to my head and my purse was taken and it was returned to me by a Fotomat driver who found it in the middle of the street while making his 3rd shift run, second time was when someone broke into the house at 2 am and yeah, we were in there, he was caught by my husband. The guy got a six year prison sentence for it. The last time, I guess I wasn’t robbed but a gun was held on my friend and me while a guy robbed an old lady who was literally opening the door of a Five & Dime to go in. So I felt like a one person crime wave and from my point of view, things are much better now as far as crime but I guess that depends on where ya live. I’m an older woman but I do feel safer now than at that time. 🤷🏻♀️
@@shelzp7272 Hey thanks for your perspective. Yeah, it does depend a lot upon where you live, but sure glad things are better for you now. Sounds like you're finally in a good place!
You lack perspective. They were not better. You needed to experience the "crappy inflationary and immoral era" that was the early-to mid 1970's. Inflation was out of control (largely due to the Vietnam War) and there were extreme gasoline shortages due to an oil embargo.
@@MrShobarThroughout it all, people still had morals and a set of standards. I WAS there, and would go back in a heartbeat. Music was better, movies were better, cars were better, education was better, sports were better, people were far nicer. And basically if you worked, you could afford to buy a house (unlike today).
4:10
I served papers there.
They got back at me, offering me a free coke from the coke machine that didn't charge.
I've been hooked since.

Bobs big boy 79!
YES, big boy)
How to break out the keyboard for these songs

What bout the Velvet Turtle too? 😮
No illegal immigrants, prosperity, civilization, cleanliness on the streets, elegant cars, good taste, no garbage on the streets, no graffiti, no BLM and LGBT, good music. Old America.
For many, this time has become a symbol of prosperity and sophistication. Of course, these features created a special atmosphere and attractiveness.
People like are the reason for the dumbing down of America
We didn't know how well-off we really were!
1993orocimaru And you are wrong on all of the things you said. L.A. has always had everyone of those things.
I remember these days. My family and I moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles during the late 1970s.
I remember thinking that Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the San Fernando Valley were so clean and beautiful!
The first thing that I thought was the weather was great and the streets were so clean that it looked like it was mopped, compared to the filthy streets of NYC!
Back then there was very little trash, homelessness, dope fiends, rampant crime, or graffiti in most of the city, and practically none in the suburbs.
Today, by contrast, most of Los Angeles has become a dump! Even the government is moving second-class citizens into apartments and decent communities and is ruining the quality of life for good hard-working people.
I have a friend who lives in Manhattan. To this day, every time she comes to LA she says the same thing: “It’s so clean! And quiet!” She says this…in LA!
As a life long resident (74 years) , LA wasn’t as nice as the “nostalgics” believe. I remember, years ago, seeing Tony Randall on the Tonight Show watching him educate Johnny Carson on what Manhattan was REALLY like in the 20s and 30s versus the utopia that people now say it was. He said it was a dark, mostly unlit, dangerous crime-ridden zone. Like Time Square used to be like. Hookers and heroin in the 70s. Bring the kids! I prefer today. Plus, the coffee is better.
@Lpreilly72
Good for you! However, I believe that you're in the minority.
If you're claiming that there was less crime, homelessness, mental health problems, dope fiends, graffiti, trash littered throughout the streets, and violent crimes in even places like Beverly Hills and Sherman Oaks during the 1970s, in comparison to today, then you must have a horrible memory or completely delusional my friend!
@@Lpreilly72
Compared to most of Manhattan of course LA is cleaner! LA is also more vast and diverse as a city.
Los Angeles is hardly a city in my opinion being a New Yorker myself. It's mostly a city of different suburbs.
And the topic of discussion is the decline of LA in comparison to the 1970s! The changes are extremely obvious.
@Lpreilly72
Whatever dude! You're the only person that I've heard talking about LA being better today than in the past!
I recall back in the 1970s through the 1990s when you had to go to Skid Row or DNTN LA to find homeless dope fiends and criminals, when smash and grabs, were unheard of, and when you didn't feel the need to be prepared to fight for your life every day on the streets of LA because of all of mentally impaired people that are roaming the streets, and because the city jails are too crowded so now they've been released to roam freely in the streets to endanger the lives of good citizens!
Shit, they're not even worried about committing crimes anymore! People in affluent communities are being followed to their homes and being robbed these days!
I remember back in the 1970s through the 1980s when living in a decent zip code in the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys meant that you were going to be raising children in a nice environment and great schools. Not anymore! The majority of residents are sending their children to private schools!
Businesses are closing due to transients, criminals, mental patients, and dope fiends!
Unless drastic measures are taken, things are only going to get worse! Look at San Francisco and Oakland for instance.
You should try taking public transportation in LA rather than being a keyboard warrior!

Arnold is probably somewhere else keeping a close eye on his training regimen!)))

Was cute
Well! I've read some of the comments. Times change. Nothing stays the same forever. I live next door in Arizona. Have visited Southern California since the 1970's. Have to admit San Diego is my favorite place to visit. Also like Orange county. I read a posting by LAPD that violent crime dropped over 20% from 2023-2024. I bet the crime rate was much higher in the 1980's-90's because of drugs. Especially crack cocaine. Nice weather. Have visited NYC. A lot has changed. In 1990 there was over 2200 murders. In 2023 386 murders. A million more people live in the city now than in 1990. Over 91 million tourists visited the city in 2023. NYC may be safer because of immigration. If convicted of a serious crime you risk deportation.
Yes, life was beautiful in LA in the 70s, other than the Watts riots, Charlie Manson, Rodney King, RFKs assassination, child abuse in the Catholic Church, LAPD corruption, the smog, Viet Nam, Mayor Sam Yorty, racial restrictive covenants in real estate, more riots (this time everywhere.) Yes, life in LA was better. It was for me. I was in my 20s! Nostalgia is crack for old people.
You just hit the nail on the head.
Rabbis are 18x more likely to abuse children than a catholic priest.
Thank you for not glamorizing the past. I appreciate that
someone needed to recite his liberal speech here.
