Which city in the world would you like to visit in the 1940s??

How clean and beautiful it is!!! The L.A. we loved and miss! Thank you for posting this great video!

More footage of my hometown. This was shot about 4 years before I was born but most of the buildings were still standing and many of the automobiles were still on the road well into the 60’s. Thanks for the journey back to my childhood.

Very clean, no graffities!
Great job, Nass! 🎉

Hats.
I really wish men's fashion hadn't given up on hats. And I am not talking about baseball caps.
Hats were stylish and unique.

I'm good with what everybody else said, and now I know the "skate walk" is due to the playback speed. Great job on this video - Thanks!

I used to take the train from San Diego to Los Angeles, and I loved arriving in Union Station! And it made me think of Phillipe, up the street, and the glorious French dip. Also great cup custard. I live in Michigan now, and this really tugged at my heartstrings. I saw a '49 Hudson and Studebaker, so that nails the date. Thanks so much!

That was enjoyable to watch. It always is whenever stepping into "Nass's Time Machine". Well done. (as usual) The smile on my face belongs to you.
Thank you Nass.

Marvelous... I often think I was born 25-30 years too late. This mid-40's version of L.A. was when it was at it's best, IMHO. Both my Mom & Dad came here from other states about this time, met, married in '46 and along came me in 1951. If one day time travel tech becomes possible - never say never - a trip back to this time in history just post-WWII L.A. would be a worthwhile adventure. Cheers!!

Another great video from NASS. The scenes are gorgeous! They look as though they were taken yesterday.

0:48 this part of Union Station where the cab is pulling in is where Ubers drop you off today. Was just in this exact spot the other day. Crazy how things are basically the same.

Very nicely done! Most likely originally background plates for some movie, shot in 35mm at 24 fps.
Just a note, the playback speed seems slow. Playing it at 1.25 normal rate looks more natural.
Almost certainly shot at 24fps, seems like it might have been played at 18 fps (standard for silent film) for conversion, which means it really should be played 1.33 times faster for normal speed.

I googled the meaning of nostalgia. Among other things, it said the feeling of being homesick. Dispite being raised in LA county, in the 60's, seeing this footage makes me " homesick" for THOSE times, when I wasn't even alive yet 😢 thanks Nass

The last clip @7:37 is the 8800 Block of Wilshire Blvd., South side of the street, by Robertson near the Miracle Mile section.

[marstondavis]

Reading the comments tells me one thing. The people love Nass. The videos take us back to a simpler time. For that, I'll always be grateful.

[andyrideshare]

I never seen streets so clean in LA like this.

[TopHotDog]

Very realistic restoration. Most of the signs letterings are clear and readable.

[preciousypenguino]

Wow these are amazing to see. Thank you!

[thefish]

The feeling of nostalgia is almost heartbreaking.

This just showed up an hour ago.. Thanks as always, NASS.. This one captured a great era, LA Noir, 1947 or so..
