As part of a program called Downtown LA Walks, the Conservancy has worked with the Confederation of Downtown Associations to produce a free podcast tour of historic downtown highlights. The tour features about a dozen buildings as well as interviews with Conservancy Executive Director Linda Dishman, preservation architect Brenda Levin, and film critic/historian Leonard Maltin. The podcast series also includes tours of downtown shopping, arts and culture, and international destinations. The podcasts are available as RSS feeds and direct downloads, and each includes a printable map. Enjoy!

Angels Flight In 1901 Colonel J.W. Eddy, a professional engineer, personally financed to construct a funicular railway called Angel's Flight to provide easy access up and down Bunker Hill, connecting the residences on the hill to the bustling commercial and entertainment district below. This railway was in use until 1969 when it ceased operation due to redevelopment of Bunker Hill. However in recent years Angels Flight was restored and by the mid-1990's was up and running on a new location slightly further south on Hill street. Now Angels Flight is once again a wonderful historical landmark for everyone to enjoy -- for only a 25 cent fare. Photo courtesy of Julius Shulman |
