LA looks quite sleepy in some of those older skyline shots.

Back in the days of CHiP's, LA (above shot) just didnt appear as "big" or full of bustle as I would expect for a city of that size. Now things are much more bustling, I guess, from my impressions when I last visited.

It is. That's the now residential converted Bank One Tower. The one that lost most of it's windows to a tornado.

Wow, Boston has come a very long way since then. I never realized how much surface parking there was right off the freeway, or how large the plaza is around the municipal building.
