I want a time machine.
Heck...a one way ticket, even.

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.

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 first scenes are in San Francisco, followed by several minutes of footage from Mexico City in 1945. Note that the film being shown in a movie theater is
Una Mejor Que No Miente (a woman who doesn't lie), from 1945.
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.
