West Hollywood 1982

by The New Mr Burlesk

Where were you in '82?

See what "Boystown" looked like nearly 30 years ago before it actually became its own city.

The images in this set are organized in a sort of "walking tour" order from east to west. The area covered happens to be the Christopher Street West parade route along Santa Monica from Crescent Heights on the east to La Peer on the west.

Ones of which I'm not certain about location I have put at the end of the set.

Tthese images had to be scanned from a contact sheet.

If you happen to notice something mislabeled (like a street reference) please leave a correction in the comments. Thanks!

I will be adding high-res versions of these photos as I can. The negs are somewhat banged-up.
