Los Angeles rarely sees snow these days, but for most of its existence, it has gotten snowed on roughly once every ten years or so. Friday, January 22, 1921 was one of those special days, and thankfully some quick-thinking photographer ran into the middle of La Brea Ave at around De Longpre to capture the moment. On the right we can see the line of vaguely British-looking buildings that Charlie Chaplin built as the front of his movie studio. With this snow, Chaplin probably felt quite at home.

This is roughly the same view in June 2022. The Chaplin Studios are now the headquarters of the Jim Henson Corporation.

And when I say the Jim Henson Corporation, I really mean the Muppets.
