How cool is this long exposure of Angels Flight? It was taken 72 years ago, in 1951, back when Angels Flight was still in its original Bunker Hill location next to the 3rd Street Tunnel. Photo via the L.A. Examiner archives at @USCLibraries instagram.com/p/Ct5h366rGGz/…
French speakers and "Ask the Dust" fans: dig "Mr. Bunker Hill" Nathan Marsak on Arte TV, showing off Angels Flight Railway and other bits of the old neighborhood that John Fante would still recognize. bunkerhilllosangeles.com/2023/06/13/fan…

So it’s weird to see the Angels Flight funicular sitting on its lonesome with nothing much around it. Judging by the 1965 Chevrolet driving along Hill St, this photo was taken during the mid-1960s, when most of Bunker Hill was being cleared for redevelopment. #LosAngelesHistory

Downtown was modernizing, erasing the past and something of its urban life. A sense of place was at risk. See more at kcet.org/shows/lost-la/… #losangeles #la #lahistory #senseofplace #socal #dtla #losangelescalifornia #downtownlosangeles #insta_losangeles

After opening in 1901, the Angels Flight funicular was constant in #DTLA until its original location closed in 1969. We see it chugging up the incline like The Little Engine That Could as buildings are being torn down ahead of the Bunker Hill redevelopment. #LosAngelesHistory

Oh, what a lovely dawn that--wait. What? That glow behind downtown LA is from an atom bomb test conducted 300 miles away in Yucca Flat, Nevada? I sure hope the townsfolk of Las Vegas (80 miles SE) were wearing two pairs of sunglasses that night, June 4th, 1953. #LosAngelesHistory

@esotouric It’s nice to walk around that area. Bunker hill is long gone but it’s memory still lives on. If only we can travel to the past to see bunker hill and the old Los Angeles.
@soulrideblog JOHN FANTE: " The year was 1934. The place was Third and Hill, Los Angeles.I was twenty-one years old, living in a world bounded on the west by Bunker Hill, on the east by Los Angeles Street, on the south by Pershing Square, and on the north by Civic Center."
