I've been waiting for this Famima!! for ages. Bento boxes, Pocky, shrimp chips at Union Station? Yes, please! Next step ought to be TAP at Famima!!, just like Suica is accepted at FamilyMart....
@ Brandon: Patience, we will get there. And I would add that this Green Line extension to Torrance ought to be built, NIMBYs or no NIMBYs....
National noodle day? Really? Awesome! I eat noodles just about every day, although sometimes it's more of the pasta variety than the ramen, udon, saimin or other soup noodle. All noodles on earth ...
Lesson of the day, kids. Be very, very careful not to complain to the media — especially FOX — about stuff on the subway not working. It is very easy to twist that around to "subway not working"...
Well, at least the map on this blog shows the Little Tokyo station as "Little Tokyo/Arts District". Little Tokyo's new, underground light rail station will be a block further into Little Tokyo, but a...
What I see here is a perfectly logical, reasonable proposal ruined by a pair of crystal towers looming over the Music Center. This sort of braindead planning has wrecked other perfectly reasonble pro...
That photo illustration gives the impression that the plan is to green up the L.A. River, dump a ton of precious water into it and ignore the railroad tracks and the power lines. Much more important ...
When I'm by myself in Little Tokyo, I often end up eating the curry spaghetti at Curry House or plate lunch at Aloha Cafe. When I'm with others, we usually end up at Oomasa. But it's hard to go wro...

while Metro may not have the power to implement this project or even push it forward, you have to give them credit for supporting a project that would have huge potential benefits for Southern Califo...
Why ignore the obvious? Why must there be an ulterior motive? 1) Victorville is on the main route between SoCal and Vegas. Stopping there would not require a detour 2) the planners for DesertXpr...
it seems to me that high-speed rail is caught in a Catch-22. Build the easiest, fastest, flatest part first (say, Bakersfield to Stockton), as the DesertXpress seems determined to do with their t...
first, I want to congratulate you for mentioning Nazi rocket scientists, proving once again that all Internet discussions must eventually involve Nazis or Hitler :) second, maglev isn't the next m...
Los Angeles Union Station truly is an amazing place, and it is appropriate that National Train Day will be celebrated this Saturday at the station. With the Red Line, Gold Line and Metrolink, it has ...
So, have they reduced the choices down to those two? If so, then the choice is obvious. There's no way you're going to convince anyone who lives, works or shops downtown that at-grade is going to wor...
