It's sad that most of these once glamorous areas of Los Angeles are now reduced to slums. I have lived in Long Beach, CA my entire life and have always been fascinated with old Los Angeles. Unfortunately, due to the degredation of the area I have only been down on Broadway twice in my entire life. I love seeing these buildings in person, but it is sad to see them neglected and falling apart in an area of town that is now not a great plac eto hang out and spend the day.

Can you imagine what this looked like at night with the exceptional electric signs (especially in 1905).
Below: Amazingly, the Elden Hotel building (1894) to the left of Tally's New Broadway is still there.
