Los Angeles

Across the road from Grand Central Market is the Angels Flight.  A funicular rail painted in a vibrant shade of orange and black.  It is the smallest funiclar railway in the world.
Closed for nearly 4 years due to safety issues it re-opened on the long weekend.  

The tiny railway ferries passengers up and down Bunker Hill, just as it did more than 100 years ago.
It costs $1.00 per person for a one way ride.  It's a short rickety ride but absolutely worth taking.

We rode the railway to the top of Bunker Hill which saved us an uphill walk in the heat and was a fun way to get there.

The top of Bunker Hill was used in a scene from the movie La La Land when they dance and sing and from memory I think it was night time.






At the top of Bunker Hill.  Remember this from La La Land?
