LA City Hall, 1995, with a post-Northridge earthquake “band aid” around it’s upper floors. Across the way - a KCAL satellite truck beaming (not streaming…its 1995) the ongoing OJ Simson trial from the LA County Courthouse. #losangeles #architecture #legal #photography #BlackAndWhite #tv

Looking east from a Westwood Village rooftop, 2000. That’s the Century City towers to the right; the overbuilt Wilshire corridor to the center; and West Hollywood off in the distance to the left.

Random media commentary: It doesn't count as an "exodus" when the people no longer counted as population are STILL IN CALIFORNIA (just interred). COVID-19 deaths, folks. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-14/california-exodus-left-a-gaping-population-hole

South of Los Angeles off the Santa Ana Freeway around holiday season, 1994, with gas at the Shell station selling for $1.30 a gallon. Sharp eyed observers will note arrows pointing to either “full serve,” where someone actually pumped your gas for you, or what we all have now - self serve. It was also a time when you had to pay in advance - they weren’t yet set up for debit cards. #losangeles #gasstations #photography #BlackAndWhite

Pick your breakfast spot: Bob’s Big Boy (1993), or Phil’s Diner (1988), both in the San Fernando Valley.

A KABC reporter takes a break between spots at the LA County Courthouse during the 1995 OJ Simpson trial. The small tv monitor is showing a live feed from the courtroom, of which local coverage was wall-to-wall. #losangeles #legal #tv #photography #BlackAndWhite

Looking east in downtown Los Angeles from the roof of the Orpheum Theater, 1993. Off in the distance to the center is LA City Hall. To the left are two 1920’s-era antennas from radio station KRKD. Zoom in to the right and there’s Dr. Campbell the credit dentist, an LA staple on local television.

Westwood Village, 2000, from the roof of a Wilshire Blvd. office tower. I believe this remarkable building (I know - there’s one every block in Italy) used to be a bank. #losangeles #architecture #photography
