Movie, TV and Music Video Filming Locations Then and Now
Charlie's Angels - Angels On The Street (1979)
For this Charlie's Angels episode, the production team utilized quite a bit of on-location filming. This first film locations then and now photo comparison showcases the Main Street entrance to the old Adams Hotel in Culver City, California. The view is directed towards Washington Blvd, with 9412 Washington Blvd's "Mark The Carpetbagger" visible in the background. Both of these buildings date back to the earliest days of Culver City and have appeared in numerous movie filming locations then and now, featuring in dozens of films and TV episodes from the 1920s through the late 1980s.
Unfortunately, everything on the block where the Adams Hotel was located was demolished in the late 1980s. A parking lot took over the entire block until the 2010s when the significant Culver Steps development was constructed.
The "Mark The Carpetbagger" building at 9412 Washington Blvd has fared much better over the past century. Although the front has undergone extensive remodeling, it remains the same building that appeared in several silent films featuring 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 features a fascinating exploration of film locations then and now through its video documentary and photo gallery available on this site.
When this Charlie's Angels episode was filmed in 1979, the front of 9412 Washington Blvd was remarkably similar to how it appeared in 1924, showcasing the movie filming locations then and now. Today, however, most of the front of the building is walled off, contrasting with the open scenes of the past.

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, demonstrating the transformation of film locations then and now. 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. This shift illustrates the stark contrast of movie filming locations then and now.

Laurel and Hardy meet Charlie's Angels! This is the Culver Blvd side of the Adams Hotel, showcasing film locations then and now as we look west down Culver Blvd, comparing images from 1928 to 1979. The Culver Hotel is visible down the street. Unfortunately, the Adams Hotel, along with the entire block, was demolished in the 1990s, making way for the Culver Steps development that occupies the site today, a testament to the evolution of movie filming locations then and now.

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.

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.
