• Angels Flight Railway. "For 25 cents a ride, the newly-restored Angels Flight connects Downtown L.A.'s historic core, (and the nearby Broadway retail district and the Grand Central Market), with the modern financial district atop the hill, ending at the California Plaza Watercourt, featuring shops, restaurants and a public live entertainment space accentuated by fascinating water-jet displays. The Museum of Contemporary Art is also nearby..."
• Angels Walk. "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 a life 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. You'll see a Victorian's view of what a futuristic building would look like in the year 2000 and its splendors will take your breath away. Shop for pigs' snouts and exotic medicinal roots in a bustling indoor-market. Hear water fountains crash like ocean waves in a dramatic water garden that covers more than an acre. See a headless businessman take out his frustrations on an office building and see a library topped by a golden pyramid. Journey through the pages of Raymond Chandler and through the scripts of Blade Runner, Speed, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Chinatown. Ride into history on the shortest railway in the world. All this and more is here in Downtown Los Angeles within a square mile (or two). And you can see them all just by taking a short journey.
  
  Step out onto Angels Walk—where dreams begin..."

• Architecture Tours L.A. "Architecture Tours L.A. will introduce to you and explore the unique and fascinating architecture of Los Angeles. Long regarded as the city of the future, L.A. is home to some of the most original and innovative architecture in the United States and the world, as well as being home to virtually every conceivable historic style, reflecting the diversity and imagination of the people who live here.
  
  One of our tours starts in the heart of Hollywood at the stunning Capitol Records Tower Building, which was built to look like a stack of records, and guides you throughout the city focusing on the unusual and outstanding architectural gems of this dynamic metropolis. You'll see structures ranging in style from Egyptian Revival to Chateauesque and Tudor to sleek mid-Century modern to Post-Modern, all in the comfort of a deluxe van with leather bucket seats, strong air-conditioning and two sun roofs for maximum visibility."     
• Bradbury Building. "The Bradbury Building, built in 1893, is one of Southern California's most remarkable architectural achievements. Its plan was commissioned by real estate and mining entrepreneur Louis L. Bradbury who decided to build it just a few blocks from his home on fashionable Bunker Hill and not far from the base of Angels Flight." 

Pasadena

• Gamble House. "The Gamble House in Pasadena, California, is an outstanding example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture. The house and furnishings were designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company. The house, a National Historic Landmark, is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University of Southern California and is open for public tours."  Comment:  The Gamble house is on my top ten places to see in the Los Angeles area if you are interested in architecture and design. Visiting the Gamble house is experientially similar to visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water House. Once you have seen the Gamble House or the Falling Water House you will wonder why so many contemporary homes are so poorly designed.
