-HOLLYWOOD FILMS
"NEW YORK CITY"
@ LAKE BALBOA
WE SEE BELOW THE BUSWAY FROM NOHO
to WARNER CENTER which goes by Lake Balboa
in the middle of San Fernando Valley California.
When I was there this Friday a Hollywood Crew was
filming a commercial for CABLEVISION which is in
NEW YAWK CITY. The scene I filmed here SEEMS
to be a man sitting by a lake (PROBABLY TO LOOK LIKE
CENTRAL PARK IN N.Y.) with trained birds walking in front.
After WE, THE PUBLIC were told the park was closing,
the next scene was with 'FOOTBALL PLAYERS' on the
grassy area where I took a look at before they filmed
of some 'balloon or something'
So, check out these scenes.

-CRUZIN' ON THE ORANGE BUS
NOHO to LAKE BALBOA
HERE ARE THE ARTICULATED BUSES
OF THE METRO ORANGE LINE
The buses run to and fro NORTH HOLLYWOOD
to WARNER CENTER in Woodland Hills.
The path is the rail line that the RED CARS ran
from L.A. thru Noho to Canoga Park basically
down the Chandler Blvd former railway with
a dedicated busway monitored by the L.A. Sheriff.
The busway continues west along the north side of
Balboa Lake to the Warner Business Center.

-RAILWAYS OF LOS ANGELES
Forget the Aqua, Blue, Orange, Green ETCETERA
rail lines we now have in L.A. In the old days we
had the RED CARS and the STREETCARS.
The Trollys ran the City streets from Downtown
to Hollywood and East L.A. Streetcars were the
earliest public transport starting just after electricity
came to the area about the 1880's. Anywhere
someone was funding a track of land, the rails
would follow. Temple St. and the Temple Rail Line
ran from Downtown north to the area Mr. Temple
had to sell lots for homes. As things progressed
by the early 1900's the increasing population
needs made for places like Long Beach with its
port to grow and a new greater rail train affair
came about the Pacific Electric Red Cars
running from L.A. to the new Long Beach. Alike,
the San Fernando Valley grew and the Red Car
came through the Cahuenga Pass to North Hollywood,
where now the Orange Line starts, and continued
out to Canoga Park. Yes, folks the future already
happened and ended in the 1950's,
you know that story BEEP BEEP.
