UNION STATION
AREA
ANGELS WALK*
– UNION STATION / EL PUEBLO / LITTLE TOKYO / CIVIC CENTER
The Union Station/ El Pueblo/Little Tokyo/Civic Center Walk takes us
back to the early village of Yang-na, home of the Tongva Indians, which became
the settlement El Pueblo de Nuestra Seņora la Reina de Los Angeles that became
our city, Los Angeles. This Native American village was subsequently settled by
Spaniards, Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Africans, Portuguese and many
others. In a sense, this Angels Walk is about discovering the stories of people
who all converged at this special place and claimed it as their own. As they
did, Los Angeles evolved into a city that belongs to everyone.

*Angels Walk LA is devoted to enhancing the
pedestrian environments of Los Angeles by developing Angels Walks, self-guided
walking trails that commemorate the history, architecture and culture of our
City's neighborhoods. Angels
Walks encourage pedestrians to discover and explore Los Angeles by
connecting directly with major transit and rail lines.

ANGELS WALK*
– BUNKER HILL / HISTORIC CORE DISTRICT
Los Angeles - the City of Angels - is a city built on dreams. The dream
of the immigrant seeking a new beginning; the dream of Hollywood with its
promise of glamour and riches; the dream of wide open spaces and sunny golden
days. In the Bunker Hill/Historic Core Angels Walk you will experience these
dreams in the L.A. that exists today, in an L.A. that thrived almost a century
ago and in an L.A. that existed only in imagination.
