Founded in 1781, the oldest of all the L.A. neighborhoods, Downtown Los Angeles also seems to be the newest because of the accelerated urban revitalization and rapidly growing skyline. While we're living and working here, we are witness to Downtown's second golden age, revealing cultural shifts, design cues and typography trends reminiscent of the city's first golden age in city living, speakeasies, sign painting, craft cocktails, public transit and more.

Built in 1901, Angels Flight is the shortest railway which has carried more passengers per mile than any other in the world. Although it takes less than 5 minutes to walk up or down the stairs along the route, I'm sure wearing a wool dress in the early 1900s didn't make it such an easy hike. The flight consists of two counterbalanced cars controlled by cables which travel 315 feet. When one car is at the top, the other is at the bottom. It's a fun way to get up Bunker Hill.
