A fascinating tour of Los Angeles told through vintage images.The City of Angels story is told through a fun and colorful collection of old photos, picture postcards, brochures, ads, and other vintage ephemera, accompanied by author Peter Moruzzis candid and insightful commentary.Featured are rare glimpses of the citys early years as a dusty pueblo; Chinatowns evolution; the miraculous orange empire; backyard oil wells; Venice of America; the roaring 1920s and corrupt 1930s; colorful evangelists; glamorous Wilshire Boulevard; fabulous nightclubs; movie studios and lavish stars estates; and theme parks such as Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Marineland of the Pacific. Witness the birth of midcentury modernism, futuristic Googie coffee shops, and spaceage LAX. Recall a postwar suburban paradise of driveins, bowling palaces, beach parties, Dodgers baseball, hotrod culture, and mushrooming tract developments.California natives, newcomers, and visitors alike will discover a largely forgotten history of Los Angeles, much of it lost to progress, as chronicled from the late 1800s through the midtwentieth century.
