Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
For this Charlie's Angels episode, the production team made use of quite a bit of on location filming.
This first then and now filming location photo comparison shows us the Main Street entrance to the old Adams Hotel in Culver City, California. The view is looking towards Washington Blvd with 9412 Washington Blvd's "Mark The Carpetbagger" seen in the background. Both of these buildings date back to the earliest days of Culver City and have appeared in dozens and dozens of movie and TV episodes from the 1920s through the late 1980s.
Sadly, everything on the block where the Adams Hotel was situated was demolished in the late 1980s. A parking lot occupied the entire block until the 2010s when the massive Culver Steps development was built.
The "Mark The Carpetbagger" building at 9412 Washington Blvd has fared much better over the past 100 years. While the front has been extensively remodeled, it is in fact the same building that appears in several of the silent films of Laurel and Hardy, The Little Rascals and many other comedies made in the 1920s, along with several episodes of CHiPs and the 1980s TV series Hunter.

Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
A similar view of 9412 Washington Blvd from the Main Street entrance of the Adams Hotel. The top photo is from the 1924 Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie The Sun Down Limited (which also has a movie locations then and now video documentary and then and now photo gallery on this site).
When this Charlie's Angels episode was filmed in 1979, the front of 9412 Washington Blvd was pretty much the same as it was in 1924, unlike today where most of the front of the building is walled off.
Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
In the top photo, across the street is the Washington Blvd side of the Adams Hotel. The view is looking northeast from in front of 9412 Washington Blvd.
Today, the Culver Steps development occupies the entire block and Washington Blvd is now routed one block north onto Culver Blvd as it travels through downtown Culver City, making this filming location quite different looking today than it was in 1979.
Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
Laurel and Hardy meet Charlie's Angels!
This is the Culver Blvd side of the Adams Hotel, looking west down Culver Blvd, 1928 vs 1979. The Culver Hotel is visible down the street.
The Adams Hotel was demolished (along with the entire block) back in the 1990s and today the massive Culver Steps development occupies the site.

The Washington Blvd side of the Culver Hotel is clearly visible in the top photo.
Now that the "urban renewal" of the area is complete, this section of Washington Blvd is now part of the pedestrian mall that starts up at Ince Blvd and extends down to the "X" where Washington and Culver Blvd separate again as they head west.
Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
Two features from the earliest days of Culver City are seen in both of these photos. The first is Media Park (the group of trees at top left) and the second - which is the building way in the background - is the old Pacific Electric Railway Ivy sub-station (now home of "The Actor's Gang") at 9070 Venice Blvd.
If you look closely at the top photo, you can see cars parked in the MIDDLE of Culver Blvd. That parking area used to be the right of way of the Pacific Electric Railway tracks that ran down the middle of Culver Blvd.

Madonna - Borderline (1984)
Laurel and Hardy - Perfect Day (1929)
Laurel and Hardy - Perfect Day (1929)
An early Madonna music video filmed on location in and around downtown Los Angeles.
The filming location then and now photo above of the approach to the 4th Street bridge and intersection of South Santa Fe Avenue and Mateo Street in the background shows us a part of Los Angeles that in some ways hasn't changed very much at all since Madonna filmed this music video in February of 1984.
The approach to the East 4th Street Bridge over the Los Angeles river running next to South Santa Fe Avenue is still there as is the large building in the background. But the neighborhood (now called the Arts District) has undergone a rebirth and is alive with galleries, cafes and the first high rise "luxury apartments" building has just gone up directly in back of where I stood when I took the "now" photo.

Laurel and Hardy - Perfect Day (1929)
Besides some early scenes filmed inside one of the Hal Roach Studios soundstages, the rest of this film was made entirely on location.
It's rare that an ordinary home that appeared in a movie made 95 years ago in Los Angeles survives today, let alone looks almost exactly as it did in the film. The movie location then and now photo above shows just such a house! This home, built in 1925 is located at 3120 Vera Street.
Many of the homes on this street date back to the 1920s are still standing and in great shape. Unlike many neighborhoods in Los Angeles that fell victim to the building of the Santa Monica I-10 Freeway in the 1960s, this particular block was spared. The freeway is just about 100 feet to the left.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Bear Shooters (1930)
Here's a great movie location then and now photo comparison illustrating how the west side of Los Angeles has changed in the past 90+ years.
Back in 1930, this neighborhood was primarily single-family homes, with beautiful lawns, trees and shrubs in abundance. Alleys like the one shown above at Woodbine Street between Motor Avenue and Mentone Avenue were still unpaved.
This all changed in the late 1950s when the City of Los Angeles rezoned the area for multiple unit dwellings which meant the end of a beautiful neighborhood and resulted in the extremely high-density development we see today with literally every inch of ground paved over.
The then and now movie locations photos for this film are in The Little Rascals Filming Locations Photo Gallery. View the complete photo gallery of filming locations then and now here: Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Bear Shooters - Filming Locations Photo Gallery

Emergency! - Nagging Suspicion (1974)
Fans of 1970s TV will recognize this filming location as the Fire Station for "Squad 51" from the TV series Emergency!
Practically nothing has changed at this location (2049 East 223rd Street in Carson, California) over the past 50 years. The flagpole is in the same spot, the little wall on the left side of the property is the same as is the station building itself. The building has a plaque dedicated to series producer Robert Cinader.

The Twilight Zone - You Drive (1964)
From the classic TV series - a rare episode filmed on location and not inside the studio or on the MGM backlot.
A man driving home from work is involved in a hit and run accident and attempts to conceal the crime. While the man has no conscience, his car does and it proceeds to stalk him!
The residential neighborhood right across the street from the MGM studios in Culver City, California is where most of the filming for this episode took place. The initial hit and run scene's filming location (shown above) was Carlson Park, while the car "stalking" scenes were filmed a few blocks away. This particular part of Culver City is largely unchanged since this episode was filmed in late 1963.

Laurel and Hardy - Another Fine Mess (1930)
While being chased by a cop, Laurel and Hardy hide in an unoccupied mansion. Unfortunately a couple show up looking to rent the place. Mr. Laurel impersonates the butler (AND the maid!) and Mr. Hardy assumes the identity of the owner, Colonel Buckshot.
The photo above shows Stan Laurel as the Butler greeting the couple who has come to rent the house (Thelma Todd and Charles K. Gerrard). This is the entrance to the historic mansion at 3500 West Adams Blvd in the West Adams Historic District of Los Angeles. The mansion was built in 1910 and miraculously is not only standing today, but in great condition and exactly as it appears in the film.

Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Pups Is Pups (1930)
In this Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie, we get great views of the industrial side of Downtown Los Angeles adjacent to the Los Angeles River as Wheezer searches for his lost pups.
Most of the area has been transformed into much less gritty-looking light industrial uses today, though as you can see in the photo above, one of the buildings seen in the film at 749 Turner Street (today's Temple Street) is largely unchanged as you can see in these two then and now on location photos above.

Max Davidson - Dumb Daddies (1928)
Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Pups Is Pups (1930)
Our Gang / The Little Rascals - Pups Is Pups (1930)
Max mistakenly believes his son has murdered a woman. But in reality, his son was rehearsing for a play with a mannequin. Finished with the rehearsal, the son puts the mannequin in a sack. Max takes the sack and heads out to find a place to "hide the body."
In the then and now filming location photo above, Max is in front of 3830 Main Street in downtown Culver City, California. Main Street was a very popular filming location in the 1920s and early 1930s and if you walk down Main Street today, every building and alley that is seen in the film still stands today.

Starsky and Hutch - Long Walk Down A Short Dirt Road (1977)
From the scene where young Wheezer takes his newborn baby brother back to the hospital to trade him for a goat! This filming location then and now comparison photo looks north up Motor Avenue at Tabor Street in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles. In the 95+ years since this film was made, there have been massive changes to this location.

Starsky and Hutch - Long Walk Down A Short Dirt Road (1977)
Starsky and Hutch - Long Walk Down A Short Dirt Road (1977)
Starsky and Hutch - Long Walk Down A Short Dirt Road (1977)
Starsky and Hutch help a country music singer being stalked by a psychopath.
In this particular scene, Starsky and Hutch are trying to get some information from an informant (Scatman Crothers!).
The two photos above show how drastically the block opposite The Culver Hotel in downtown Culver City has changed. The building on the right at 9426 Washington Blvd (built in 1921) survives to this day and is easily recognizable. However the entire block in the background has been demolished and replaced with the massive Culver Steps development.

Will Rogers - Don't Park There! (1924)
Will Rogers and the Hal Roach Studios production crew shot this movie entirely outdoors on location and thus have given us a great look back at the Los Angeles area a century ago.
There have been many changes in the past 100 years in Los Angeles. But the southwest corner of South Spring Street and West 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles is remarkably unchanged. The building closest to the camera is 210 West 7th Street, built in 1913.

Spandau Ballet - Gold (1983)
Next time you are in London, England, stop by the Leighton House museum, the filming location where Spandau Ballet shot most of the music video for their song Gold. As you can see in the then and now photo comparison above, it's a remarkable place - pretty much as it was in 1983.
