Angels Flight |
| (1901–PRESENT) BACKSTORY: Originally called The Los Angeles Incline Railway, it ran NW from the west corner of Third and Hill Streets, and consisted of two carriages named Sinai and Olivet and operated for 68 years with a good safety record. It closed in 1969 when the Bunker Hill area was redeveloped and all the parts of Angels Flight were placed in storage. In 1996 it was rebuilt half a block south of the original site; four years later it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 13, 2000. On February 1, 2001, one passenger was killed and seven others injured when Sinai reversed direction and crashed into Olivet near the lower terminus. At present the cars have been removed and stored, and the railway president has said that the railway would open again soon. |

Clifton’s Brookdale Cafeteria |
| (1935–PRESENT) BACKSTORY: This was Clifford Clinton’s 2nd Los Angeles location for his famous cafeterias, and was reminiscent of the California Redwood groves with waterfalls and brooks. Clinton’s philosophy was to treat customers as “guests” and employees as “associates.” This family-owned cafeteria still offers a guarantee of “Dine Free Unless Delighted.” |
