I wanted to make this review in appreciation to Metro for hosting a FIFA World Cup watch party at…read morethe station. Some of my favorite memories travelling through Europe and South America during multiple World Cups is the sense of community that is created by the event. Many cities will put up large screens in parks and central plazas for their residents to watch the matches for free, local vendors capitalize on the increased traffic, and residents all join together to watch the matches regardless of their affiliation. Not only will you will see fans of both teams joining together in friendly rivalry, but fans of soccer in general wearing the jersey of their local club, or kids in their youth league jersey, or even completely unrelated teams to two playing. Yesterday's event at Little Tokyo station was no different, with many attendees wearing the Mexican El Tri and Las Aguilas, coming to support Japan due to a controversal play by Netherlands in 2014. There were fans wearing Oranje, Feyenoord Rotterdam, USMNT, LA Galaxy and LAFC jerseys, and even Dodgers and Tokyo Giants gear. I also loved the Rally Wagon providing a creative activity for kids (of all ages) to participate, and in fact made a Samurai Blue pennant for myself as well... Some notes for future activations. While providing shaded areas is important, too much makes it difficult to fully appreciate the main viewing area. I feel that the shaded pavillion could have been pushed further south without the side wings so not to obstruct the view from the beer garden, restroom, or water station. As for non-FIFA notes, this is a great station, well placed for access to Little Tokyo and always feels clean and safe. I love the plaque recognizing of the legendary Atomic Cafe that previously occupied the location as well as a brief history of the neighborhood. Bravo Metro on creating and continuing to maintain one of my favorite stations in your system.

It is an elevated station, with elevators and escalators (when operational) taking one to street level. Because this area is hilly, one can also stop before fully going down, and instead go through Blossom Plaza to the northwest, exiting onto Broadway. It's the first stop going north from Union Station and actually is walkable from there as well. Did make a request Yelp to change the incorrect name (since the Gold Line still exists but no longer stops at this station)... hoping action would be taken to correct.

Yeah, I know they have salmonella, but they're so cute. Mrs. Picante and I ran the Firecracker 10K this year, and while the t-shirt, logo, and medal were dumb, the morning was breathtakingly beautiful. We boarded the train in Arcadia, and within 35 minutes, we were getting off at the Chinatown station for our 8:45 start time. Can't beat the convenience, and the Sunday morning ride was 98.7% hobo free. After the race, we wandered around a little and looked at stuff-- even walked down that narrow alley of shops that is in every cops n robbers movie featuring Chinatown. For $1.75, this is really convenient, and for those of you that go a little heavy on the Tsing Tao, this is a great way to keep yourself and other safe.

Pretty easy Metro Station!…read more The Hollywood / Highland - Metro B (Red )Line is in the center of Hollywood with instant access to the Hollywood Ovation, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the TCL Chinese Theater (aka Grauman's), Hollywood Wax Museum, part of the Walk of Fame, Dolby Theater and numerous other Hollywood staples. The descend down is a few twist, turns and flights (of stairs)... As well as the journey up naturally. The elevator sometimes is down as are the escalators, but rarely at the same time and usually not for too long. You'll see LA Metro workers about more commonly here as this is a high foot traffic stop if you need any assistance. That cool down breeze coming up from the platform can be intense, but very welcome on warm weather days - hold onto your hats, caps and accessories. They have several kiosk for purchasing Metro Tap cards as well as reloading if you prefer a physical card, but you can also access and reload in the Metro Tap App which also lets you know when the next trains are arriving North West towards North Hollywood or East bound toward Hollywood /Vine Station and beyond. It's large and spacious compared to some other stations - very Hollywood and grand! Q Tip: There isn't parking for this metro location, but there is at North Hollywood as well as Universal Station.

They offer weekly and monthly architecture / history walking tours in Downtown LA with few seasonal tours. [Weekly Saturday tours]: Historic Downtown, Broadway Historic Theatre and Commercial District, Art Deco, and Union Station. [Monthly Saturday tours]: Angelino Heights, Modern Skyline, and The Biltmore Hotel lobby. *** Historic Downtown Walking Tour - each Saturday at 9:45 AM *** [Parking]: Option #1 (shorter walk) is the Pershing Square underground garage (532 S. Olive Street, Los Angeles, 90013) - $9 all day on weekends. 2nd option (longer walk) is the Westlawn Garage at Central Library (524 S. Flower Street) - discount is offered to Los Angeles Public Library card holders (parking validation is available at the library's Information Desk on the first floor). I only paid $1 at the Westlawn Garage with parking validation ($1.00 flat rate - validation still apply even if visitors come before 9:30 AM). [Special notes]: Arrive at least ten minutes early to check in. Tour meets at the center of Pershing Square near the mini-groves of Orange trees. The tour was supposed to start at 9:45 AM, but everyone arrived at 9:30 AM so our tour had an early start. [Price]: $25 per adult. $18 per youth (17 years and under). [Duration]: Our tour started at 9:30 AM and ended at 12 PM. The starting point was Pershing Square and the ending point was behind The Bradbury Building. All tours are led by volunteers. [Experience]: The tour mainly focuses on discussing beaux-arts vs art deco buildings. Our group walked into 5 different buildings including PacMutual Building, Los Angeles Public Library, The CalEdison, Grand Central Market, and The Bradbury Building (aka known from the 1982 movie Blade Runner). There was a short restroom break at Los Angeles Public Library at 10:30 AM. Our group also rode Angels Flight Railway and fare was covered as a part of the tour. [Conclusion]: A solid tour and it was a great experience to learn some basic history of buildings in Downtown LA. I would definitely consider doing some of their other tours to learn more about LA.

Forget all the stereotypes and awful things you've heard about California public transit. You hear of how little there is and how nasty they are. You hear that while people say California is a car culture state. While both those things are true the new LAX Metro Transit Center is a marvelous hub of public transportation. Built in mind to service the thousands of people who'll come in for the summer Olympics in 2028 this transport hub will remain long after the tourists leave and it'll become a central and integral part of public transport for Los Angelenos. Everything is shiny and clean. Large swathes of steel and glass give everything an open air feel. The security patrolling every 50 feet or so means the place feels secure and seen. The large shuttle docks makes for easy understanding of where the buses are going. And once the people mover or sky tram or whatever LAX will call it connects to this transit center going into LAX will become so convenient. No more fighting traffic to get in. Simply take a monorail over to each terminal. I've already used it several times to go to LAX without the sky tram and it was convenient. It'll only get better once that's implemented. Most Americans who've travelled abroad romanticize train stations and public transit, and rightfully so. When we lack something that feels so integral to public spaces it's hard not to yearn for it. But with LAX Metro Transit Center and the future lines connecting through it we can start romanizing our own lives here in California.
