Aerial view of Westwood Village, Los Angeles as seen from a blimp, 1936In this stunning aerial view, we can get a bird’s eye view of what Westwood Village looked like in 1936. There’s as much empty land as there is development. In the upper left, we can see the iconic Fox Theater, which opened in 1931 and became a favorite venue for big movie premieres. And in the center we can see the sun shining off the dome of the Janss Dome, which was the first building erected in Westwood Village, in 1929. But what really caught my eye is near the bottom: the silhouette of the blimp from which this photo was taken.
