The Places LA Forgot - An unusual travel guide of Los Angeles
This is a guide of locations in the Los Angeles area that at one time were popular tourist spots but have since been abandoned. Each location still has impressive remnants of what used to be. The Los Angeles Zoo moved to a new location, but there are still many cages that still exist from the old zoo. You can even go inside some of them. Echo Mountain used to be a premire resort high up in the mountains with the most sophisticated tram in the world, a casino, hotel and a zoo. It was leveled by a fire and never rebuilt. The Bridge to Nowhere was built in the 30's as part of a freeway that was washed away in a flood at the beginning of construction. The freeway plans were dropped, but the beautiful bridge still remains. It is a strenuous but scenic five mile hike from the nearest road. |
