Two symbols of Los Angeles glow in the setting sun. From atop the California Plaza, one can see most of the eastern section of the city. Earlier this month, I featured the 1901, Angels Flight Railway, as well as the 1928 Los Angeles City Hall. Both are early examples of LA's diverse architecture.

Angels View from California Plaza

Shortest Railway in the World
There's been talk about LA's only funicular reopening, but there seems to be more important projects to spend money on. I've never been on Angels Flight but it seems to serve a purpose as a piece of history.The "B.P.O.E." written on the arch stands for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. It was to commemorate the Elks' national convention held in Los Angeles in 1909. Wouldn't you had loved to be a fly on the wall at that convention?
