Art Gilmore, the narrator, was a familiar voice on radio, TV, movie shorts and trailers at the time.

Orange Show was in my hometown, it was such a wonderful time back then. Bob Hope would always show up every year to perform, fun times~

Wonderful travelogue! The man who produced those amazing Travelogues from the 30's to the 50's, I forget his name, would be impressed!

Did Los Angeles used to have a Spanish feel to the city in the 1940s?

When did Los Angeles start to feel American? Was it when McDonalds and other fast food outlets started coming to the city in the 1950s?

Parade floats at the end are so nice compared to the ugly GMC pickup trucks of today which drive along, each one pulling a trailer which for some reason the announcers call a float. It's not a float it's not floating, it is a trailer being dragged by a new pickup truck. And there were still people saying "Loss Angle-ess" in the late 1970s in shows such as Rockford and Columbo and probably Kojak too. They were usually wealthy southern gentlemen who flashed rolls of thousand dollar bills which were also still in use then. (although both of those shows almost exclusively featured wealthy characters played by the guest stars, how else was capitalist spending to be showcased, creating an empty feeling for the poor viewers just in time for the sponsors ads to suggest a way to make them feel better and more importantly to keep them poor). Say what you will about that pronunciation, it's certainly no worse than the obligatory modern substitution of the word gifted for gave.

The only things that have changed are the Movie Studios moved. The Steel Plant in Fontana was shipped to China, (I bet the owners were GOP) The LA stockyards were gone before I lived there, (56 to 2000).

@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Of course I know what he means. Politics have nothing to do with why these areas changed. Everything has to do with post ww2 suburban sprawl. We can blame mass real estate developers like the suburb king William Levitt for pulling people and resources out of the historical urban areas that no longer exist. The 1950s/60s changed things, not a political side. Our historical preservation society in Cincinnati has people from all walks of life, all political views, etc.
