| The exterior of Union Station in Los Angeles, with tall arched openings for doors and windows |
I'm living in southern California this year, and decided to use my exploration of the area as my focus for the #AtoZChallenge. I'm concentrating on free to see places, though I will include locations that require a parking fee. This is the twenty-first post in the series.I decided I wanted to take public transportation when I went to visit Olvera Street, because I wanted to be sure to visit the historic Union Station. It is billed as "the largest railroad passenger terminal in the Western United States." When I stepped inside, I felt like I was transported back in time.

| The arched walkways and beautifully tiled floors add a sense of opulence. |
 |
| The painted ceilings and the large round light fixtures in the cavernous waiting area draw the eye upward |
 |
| The Art Deco style clock keeps passengers informed of the time |

The large leather chairs in the waiting area look like they should be more comfortable than they actually are

A piano with a nearby sign that reads, "Step up & show us what you've got! All Players Welcome" is a delightful addition. I was very impressed with the local talent! Visit Union Station and hear a free concert!
Union Station in Omaha, NE is a really fun museum too!
ReplyDeleteWow, it does look like a trip back in time.
