I found this photo so sad I almost didn’t post it. But for good or bad, it’s all a part of Los Angeles history. What we’re looking at is the demolition of the NBC radio and television studios on the northeast corner of Sunset Blvd and Vine St, Hollywood, in 1964. Interestingly, and I’m not sure why, they started with the roof. Is that normal? Whatever the reason, it does allow us a bird’s eye view of the place where many of the radio shows were done back in the day when they had studio audiences watching performers talk into microphones while the special effects people clanked chains and clip-clopped coconut shells.
