Know Your City No.3 View down alleyway at Angels Flight car Los Angeles, Calif.

Description:
ANSWER:The photo shows Angels Flight as it crosses over Clay St. ("It is here angels do not have feet of clay" -- wow!) And a nickel does give you a lot of pull here because the cost of a round-trip ticket on this, the city's smallest franchised railroad, is -- 5 cents. But you probably guessed it. That angular car was a dead giveaway

Know Your City No.249 Front porch and marker of Avila Adobe on Olvera Street, Los Angeles, 1956

Description:
ANSWER: The structure in the photo is the Avila Adobe, generally conceded to be the oldest building in Los Angeles. It is located at 14 Olvera Street. Built in 1818 by Don Francisco Avila, it served as American headquarters in 1847 when U.S. troops captured the city. It has the further distinction of having flown four flags--Spanish, Mexican, the California Republic, and the Stars and Stripes. And, as Consuela de Bonzo, "Queen" of Olvera Street, puts it: "It is the only place in the world around here like that."
