Outdoor Wednesday #235 Angel's Flight Los Angeles

-
Photos taken at Angel's Flight in Los Angeles, CA

Had a great time in Los Angeles visiting friends and exploring not only Hollywood but downtown LA.  At fifty cents a ride, Angel's flight is not only the least expensive railway you will ever find but it is the shortest railway line in the world traveling about one to two blocks.

It is located in the Bunker Hill area of Los Angeles between Hill street and Grand avenue.  It is very narrow, both the tracks and cars with a steep uphill climb.  I was thrilled to see this as it is a landmark and has a rich history which you can read here.

I did not have time to ride this quaint little railroad while there but am definitely looking forward to it in the near future.

Hollywood and Highland Center

Make sure to click the images to enlarge. These photos should be viewed up close and personal. I absolutely loved the Hollywood and Highland center. It is located along Hollywood Boulevard and is the center of attention. Although it houses restaurants and retail shops, I see it as much more than your average mall. It is an open air complex which I really like. The retail shops and restaurants surround the main complex from the plaza area up to the second and third floors which you can visit by taking either the stairs or escalator on the far sides of the center. The plaza area is complete with some small retail kiosks and a small fountain to cool you during those Summer months. What really fascinated me about this center is all of the intricate artwork as you can see detailed in these photos. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. I walked around for about an hour just snapping shots of the creative artistry. I don't know the history but when you walk up the entrance sta
