Hi, Anyone out there from L.A. ?
I am located in Pasadena, it is a long drive to S.F. so I figure a local one would be nice.
Suggested route:
The Gold Train Route. (Downtown L.A. <--> Pasadena) Either way would work for me.
- A day pass is $3
- Multiple intersting sites, e.g.
*South Pasadena Downtown
*Arroyo Seco
including the Limus House
http://bob-taylor.com/lummis.htm
*China Town
*Union station
...etc..etc... we probably won't be able to cover them all.
What do you think?

sound great!!
We have a LA Crawl just recently, there are almost 40 people show up!! Everyone end the day with a great time, I have a mailing list of all the current LA Crawlers!! Will pass on the news to everyone.
wow...40 people!!
Very good.
gittens7, I don't know how long you've been in L.A... the Gold Train has been up for maybe over a year or so... it is not a very typical L.A. experience, but there is lots of history in this part of town.
ICM/Alina, great to learn that there is a recent Crawl, I search for your posting back in Jul. Seems like FUN.
Did the resulting sketches post in this forum?
Cheers!!!

Is this the Metro Gold line?
Ginko,
Is this the gold line you mention? I never take the train in LA either ... don't quite know how it works.

Gold Train
ICM, that's the one This brochure is great.
As you see, Gold Line is connected to all other trains at Union Station.
Usually, I'll buy a day pass. With that, our crawlers can get in and out of the train all day.
Cheers!!

Pick one location?
Looking at the Gold Line Brochure, I realize that, there are more places that we can possibly cover in one day.

I start to wonder that if it is better for us to pick ONE location with a few interesting spot and stay there.
Any idea?

Great Show
Enrico, Definitely will go to see the show. (Can't make it to the reception though, too bad, work. )
Thanks for showing up in L.A.
-------------------for the Crawl day...
Olvera Street is always a great choice. Does anyone like the Union Station building? Very grand interior, sort of like a country club for gentlemen in a bygone era. Within walking distance to Olvera Street as well.
