Video: Colorized late 1940's California 'burbs + street view spots in comments
(1/1)
Ed.Kloonk:
Very stunning video. Sift through the youtube comments to find the names of the streets.
Second half of video has a few remaining houses, but their remaining features are so distinctive, you can see the differences elsewhere.

Pretty cool to compare the video to actual Google street view. (4:43- 7:30 - South Side of Greenleaf St, starting from Hazeltine Ave heading west to Cedros Ave. Sherman Oaks, CA). Correction…. NORTH SIDE OF GREENLEAF STREET

There are more you can find. Have fun. :)

There are some similar "street view" photos from the US in the 1980's as well...

Do people who live in SF have one leg shorter than the other? Hills are so steep.
