I know that would be quite an undertaking requiring lots of data but I feel it would be well worth the effort for history buffs.

I had a sit down with a couple computer types a some months ago (over a bottle of High West 21-year-old rye). Our plans got more and more elaborate as the bottle got emptier, but the plan seems doable; the guys who build video game "worlds" could definitely recreate Old Los Angeles using topographies and vintage photographic records though, to be done with a degree of accuracy, it would entail a lot of guys with lots more photos and a lot more rye. It's an intriguing prospect and I hope to see it in my lifetime.
