I never tire of seeing vintage photos of Los Angeles that show us a time when it was mostly just empty land and dirt roads. In this one, we get to see what Sunset Boulevard looked like when it was just a dirt road in 1905 at the corner of Normandie Ave. On the left, we can see a low fence and a white pole, so I’m guessing that was somebody’s ranch. But I can’t imagine they had many passers-by!
And how that same intersection looked in September 2017 – a little less bucolic, huh?
