Circa 1930 Echo Park in a sprouting Los Angeles. The little girl in the foreground is my Grandmother, who lived to be 93.

Upvote for creepy.
Wow she lived to see a lot of changes in the world
Very cool photo, but why does it look like she is facing the sun, but her shadow is to her left? Was it touched up or digitally enhanced at any point?
Hopefully she invested heavily in real estate in echo Park and has passed it on to you
I watched the show on HBO Perry Mason which was set in LA during this time. This photo reminds me of that.
Any idea where this photo is taken? Sunset? Echo park Ave?
Is this the origin story for The Ring?
Damn thats a good photo, your almost standing on the street with her!, thats crazy.. you feel like your poking your head through the vail of time looking at this…
that really is a special photo
Super cool photo.
So very cool. 👍
Thank you!! My great grandmother grew up in the same area and I had no idea it looked like this
This is close to the same time Marilyn Monroe would have been living in Hollywood (1933). She was born in 1926.
I hear mariachi static on my radio.
And the tubes, they glow in the dark.
And I’m there with you in Ensenada.
And I’m here in Echo Park. 🎶
Bukowski shit.
Can you match location to present day? Anyways neat pic!
Oh wow cool
Amazing photo.
Man, how she saw the world changing, wild.
What a sweet, haunting photo! Bless her long life👍
Wow, what radical changes she saw in her lifetime. I wonder if we will ever see such changes in our lifetime? I can’t even imagine how different things could possibly be from now?!
If you are interested in this area/era, may I recommend Oil by Upton Sinclair.
I love the details. Her curls, her knee socks, the way the car is positioned.
Must’ve been quite a collection of ‘back in my day’ stories!
Strangely ominous.
Beautiful capture.
Lil sis be taking it all in. Today’s kids don’t know what be around them
Wow, interesting to see that sidewalks with curb cuts were already there…
Very nice view of the volcano.
😳🤘🏽
The car might be a 1926 or 1927 Ford Model T.
Weird posing! Why didn’t they take the picture from her face?
