Hey y'all, this is the final comparison post I'll be making for a bit. I am currently working on a long-form video for YouTube about how accurate LA Noire's map is to 1947 Los Angeles, so if you're interested in that, I'll post it here when its done! I'll also be posting a bunch of other comparisons when that video's done as well. I'm so glad everyone's been enjoying this series and I'll be back soon!

1. Sardi's Restaurant on Hollywood Blvd. This one is about as close to 1:1 as I've seen in game. Photo is from the mid 1940s.

2. Herbert's Drive-In (Located at Beverly and Fairfax, outside of game) appears as Joe's diner. The footage is home-footage from the late 1940s, shot around Los Angeles.

3. Bamba Club at 626 N Spring St in Downtown Los Angeles. Featured heavily in the Noir films "Kiss Me Deady" and "Criss Cross". The photo was taken in the 1946.

4. Backside of Main Street Terminal at 6th and Main, also known as the Pacific Electric Building. Photo is from 1945.

5. Top of Richfield Tower at the corner of 6th and Flower. It was demolished in 1969, the only thing that remains of the original building is the black and gold elevator doors. Video was taken in the late 1940s as promotional material for Los Angeles and Southern California.

Hope you enjoyed! Will be back soon with more posts like these!
