  1. Wow this looks like a city where humans walk on the streets and you could get around without a car. It’s like it’s from another universe.

  2. I wonder what they served at the vegetarian Café?

  4. That a really high quality picture.

  5. They weren’t kidding around with that fine. 100 dollars was big money in 1910.

  6. Old DTLA pictures are so sad to see. What they did to Bunker Hill was tragic.

  7. Reminds me of LA Noire.

  8. People have probably seen this already, but I made a pretty [large album](https://imgur.com/a/vMeKKjp) of Old Bunker Hill a few months ago. There’s a lot of color photos (starting at #15) for anyone interested.

    I love to see Old Bunker Hill getting some love, I’m weirdly obsessed with it. Every time I see it, it make me sad. Truly one of the most unique neighborhoods in California. It was demolished over the course of about at decade, starting in 1955. Nothing except for the funicular (which was moved a half a block west) survived to the present day.

  9. LA had uppity vegetarians before it was cool.
