Cool to see "Live And let Die" playing at Grauman's. I'd take L.A. 1973 over 2023 anyday.

[@atatterson6992]

Ya got that right, 2024 too. Even with the smog, WAY better

[@bconni2]

you must be an old timer.

[@pmafterdark]

@@bconni2 No. I'm a realist.

[@scottalexander44]

The only thing better today is there is not as much smog. Other than that, LA has turned to shite!

[@VFatalis]

Good times

I miss the old Real LA

[@thomasfeiller2207]

The smog or the litter? I grew up there. 61 to 79. It was a sewer. But the surrounding areas can't be beat.

[@thomasfeiller2207]

Damn! I'm going to use this as a backing track to jam to.... funky baby!

[@henrystowe6217]

I like the white on black speed limit sign.

Hollywood Blvd looks so family friendly and genteel. Gee, I wonder what happened? /sarc

[@atatterson6992]

[@atatterson6992]

And a lot lighter... in several ways

[@courtneymoyer1637]

​@@atatterson6992there's a lot of over weight people now days then back when.

[@atatterson6992]

@@courtneymoyer1637 If you mean that there are WAY more fatties now than there were back then you are 100% correct

[@atatterson6992]
