<h1>Los Angeles</h1> <h2><a href="../../map.php?id=46">Downtown Los Angeles</a></h2> <div style="float:left; margin-right:7px;">[photo 465 250 link]<br /><strong>Biltmore Hotel Downtown LA</strong><br /><strong><em>Arthur Levy Photo</em></strong></div> <p>The old downtown of Los Angeles is still very much intact because of a decision to build a new downtown up on Bunker Hill, which looks down upon the old downtown. Bunker Hill was originally a residential area and residents used Angels' Flight to get downtown.</p> <p><a href="http://www.csulb.edu/~odinthor/essalist.html">A visit to old Los Angeles</a></p> <p><a href="http://users.snowcrest.net/marnells/trolleys.htm">A page about trolleys</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.archartis.com/remnants/">PE Maps</a></p> <br clear="all" /> <h2><a href="../../list.php?id=47">Metrolink</a></h2> <div style="float:left; margin-right:7px;">[photo 475 250 link]<br /><strong>Metrolink train at Santa Ana Station</strong><br /><strong><em>OB&E Collection</em></strong></div> <p><a href="http://www.metrolinktrains.com/">Metrolink</a> is a commuter rail service that brings commuters from suburbs to Los Angeles.</p> <br clear="all" /> <h2>Pacific Electric</h2> <p>Los Angeles once had the largest electric system in the world, the Pacific Electric. There were over 1,000 miles of track, but by 1963, they were all gone. Metro, LA's current transportation agency has taken giant leaps in the last few years by combining marketing and good service. Below is a video on how LA is using marketing and the idea of product development to improve its transit system.</p> <div align="center"><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7984623&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7984623&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object></div> <p>To learn more about the Pacific Electric, click <a href="http://www.uncanny.net/~wetzel/subwayarea.htm">here</a> to learn more.</p> <p>Also, the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/metrolibraryarchive/collections/72157617190097302/">Los Angeles County MTA's Flickr Photostream</a> has some beautiful photos.</p> <h2>The Lines of the Pacific Electric</h2> <h3><a href="../../map.php?id=43">Mt. Lowe Railway</a></h3> <div style="float:left; margin-right:7px;">[photo 380 250 link]<br /><strong>Circular Bridge</strong><br /><strong><em>OB&E Collection</em></strong></div> <p>The Mt. Lowe Railway was a tourist railway built in the 1890s as a steam railroad. In 1901, the Pacific Electric bought the line and upgraded the track. The railroad was dismantled during World War II because the rails were needed for the war. Not much remains of the line except a very nice path along the right of way.</p> <p>Check out <a href="http://www.mtlowe.net/links.htm">mtlowe.net's</a> links page for a lot of great information.</p> <br clear="all" /> <h2>Film</h2> <div align="center"><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4JnP8I2R4_g&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4JnP8I2R4_g&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="385"></embed></object></div> <br clear="all"> <h2>Links</h2> <?php // open and query database $dbConn = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $dbConn); $query_section2link = "SELECT * FROM `section2link` WHERE `section` LIKE 12"; $result_section2link = mysql_query($query_section2link); while ($recSection2link = mysql_fetch_array($result_section2link, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $query_link = "SELECT * FROM `link` WHERE `id` LIKE '" . $recSection2link["link"] .
