This aerial shot shows us Westwood Village, which is sandwiched between Beverly Hills to the east and Brentwood to the west. I\u2019m guessing this is from the early 1930s because the Janss Dome (Westwood\u2019s first building) went up in 1929. We can also see the clock tower at 10900 W. Weyburn Ave. They\u2019re both still around, which is more than I can say for those great swaths of open land.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql oi732d6d ik7dh3pa ht8s03o8 a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\" lang=\"en\">This satellite image is from 2021.
