Bunker Hill Then-and-Now — the Modern Years

How does post-redevelopment Bunker Hill change?

Greetings! So, when it comes to Bunker Hill “then & now” comparison photography, it’s often “hey look this tree-shaded Victorian is now a vast concrete office tower forecourt” (e.g., this comparison from Gernot Kuehn’s Views of Los Angeles) which just lacks…nuance.

Don’t get me wrong, such a jarring juxtaposition is certainly instructive, but I think it more fun to compare n’ contrast the modern with the slightly more recent modern.

For example:

1985 vs 2024—I could look at this all day. And so could you. And so will you, when you click this link for the new blog post ↓↓↓↓

I’m sure you will enjoy the heck out of this post, and it may even stimulate a desire to better understand Bunker Hill’s post-redevelopment landscape, which is best done with Marsak’s Guide to Bunker Hill in hand…and which, I might add, is on sale!

Until next time (that being next weekend, when I unleash a whole new set of Bunker Hill then-and-nows) I remain, yours faithfully,
