Some really good film footage taken during the 40's. Mostly San Francisco and LA, back when they were nice places to live (less the smog). Appx 8 minutes both color and B&W.

Or you could just play LA Noire
I want a time machine.
Heck...a one way ticket, even.
Already available. DeLorean. Flux capacitor. 88 miles per hour.
I like old baseball and it never ceases to amaze me to see the 1930 depression and young boys at the ball park wearing rags but they had a jacket and tie on.
Wow, love those cars, some destined to be hot rods in the fifties and sixties.
Bookmarked for later.
BFL
$2.50 per day to rent a car.
Very cool...every man was wearing either a suit or a uniform, and all wore hats.
I wonder if you can still hang on the cable cars like that. I would be surprised if you could, that does look like fun.
No fun allowed.
Looked like a nice city back then.
The final scenes are from Los Angeles, probably from 1949. There's a scene along Fourth Street and another going north on Flower Street. In the background is the Richfield Building, a masterpiece of commercial architecture which was my favorite LA highrise. It's the one topped by what looks to be an oil derrick. This was scrapped in 1969 and replaced with the Arco Towers, known to Southern California conservatives as the home of George Putnam's radio talk show. The Arco Towers are now called City National Plaza.
It’s cheap enough on Amazon.
TCM had a film noir type animated series on their YouTube channeel.
I mean the video game. It is spectacular.
I read up on it.
Granted, I’m not much of a gamer but I’d give it a try.
