Heritage
Square Station
and Lincoln Station
Parking:
Free park-n-ride
parking at both stations
Before the Gold Line Station (at 3545 Pasadena Ave., L.A.) opened Heritage Square
referred to an museum that
contained several notable Victorian homes which had been moved
to this location to save them from demolition. And the
museum is still there--across the river just a few blocks from
the station.
The Heritage Square station
itself honors other heritages of Los Angeles--particularly from
Mexico.

What may
appear to be convoluted pieces of concrete are replicas
of the Mayan alphabet. We are not sure what they
spell out. |
 |
Beautiful
tiles with graphic and photographic images of old
Los Angeles are imbedded in the platform of the Heritage
Square station. |
The Lincoln/Cypress Gold Line
station (at 370 W. Avenue 26, L.A.) primarily serves a neighborhood of light industrial
buildings with some brand new condos. Not much in the way of
dining or cultural sites around this station.
 |
In the Lincoln
Gold Line station is a life-size statue of a native
American woman who
--according to a nearby sign --carried
water to local homes when water for El Pueblo de Los
Angeles came from an open ditch, called the zanja madre. |
