The Wiltern





In the heart of Los Angeles' Koreatown sits the Wiltern Theater and above it rises the Pellissier Building. Named for the famous corner it sits on, Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue, this 1931 Art Deco masterpiece was built originally to stage vaudeville acts as the Western Theater, but was renamed Wiltern after a brief dark period in the mid 1930s. Currently, it serves as a major mid-level live theatre venue and glorious reminder of LA's architectural past.

Metrolink and Amtrak California






If some of these look familiar, it's because they're made at the same Thunder Bay, Ontario plant that trains in Miami, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto are made in. Well, the Metrolink ones are at least.

Redondo Beach Station, which ironically is nowhere near a beach



Geek Time

LA Metro's Green Line, a train that doesn't quite go to the beach, doesn't quite go to LAX, doesn't quite go to the Metrolink station at Norwalk, but DOES go down the median of I-105, is shown here at various locations in Norwalk, Hawthorne, Redondo Beach and Los Angeles, California on April 11 and 12, 2011

Los Angeles Union Station










The last of the great train stations, featuring moderne, art deco and Spanish revivial styles, serves thousands of bus, subway, commuter and long-haul rail passengers who would otherwise further clog the far-from-free-flowing freeway system.
