    Those buildings that are seemingly still around 80 years later are legends.

    I stayed at the house at 2:35 back in 2019 for a week. 501 East Balboa Boulevard. So cool to see it back in the 1940s. A beautiful little house less than 30 seconds walk from beach.

    The Pac Bell/At&T building still there!!! I remember when it flooded and I was there to restore the phone service. This video is from my in-law's time down there. My wife's grandfather was offered Balboa Island when it was a sand bar and he co-owned Newport Dunes. To this day, we keep our trailer at Newport Dunes for weekend use. Great show of memory lane. We should do the 80's till now and show how a lot of those buildings were there until the big builders came in

    Very nice indeed excellent work👍. Its a valuable thing to see all that has changed. In many respects its looks better now. Although delvopment is inevitable. You have to think 50 yrs prior to the old footage being shot there would have been virtually nothing there at all....barely even a road most likely.

    • @kaktotak2521
      @kaktotak2521  Рік тому +6

      Yes, split screens can be done. Placing screens side-by-side will result sacrificing either size of the screens or screen peripherals. Maybe... on top of each other by cropping sky and pavement portions?.. Thank you for the great idea. I definitely will look into this.

    Spent many years from 1991-2008 poisoning my liver on this stretch of Newport(lived in a couple different party houses on the peninsula) I wish I would have done things differently. Would be nice to get back the tens of thousands of dollars I spent on beer in all the bars on the peninsula too.

    Came here from the Sunset Blvd video, in which I thought both eras were equal: trashy-as-always Sunset. But in this one, Newport/Balboa Village is definitely improved today, and those who say otherwise are nursing a political agenda. I note many interesting buildings are still there; the surroundings are spruced up and nicer. More greenery, less matchstick telephone poles.
