Zoot Suit Riots: Where it all happened

What $675K buys in LA. Purple Line news. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [View on the web]( [Click to view images]( The Westside subway reached a milestone this weekend, linked below, but in other transit news: The Blue Line is no longer. The southern section of Metro’s oldest light rail line reopened this weekend after a four-month closure, with signs now designating it the “A” Line. (It’s the first of Metro’s train lines to be renamed in a new letter system the agency settled on last year.) I rode the reopened segment of the train Monday morning and played with the nifty new digital information screens at each station. It was a smooth ride, though noticeably uncrowded thanks to aggressive fare enforcement. The northern half of the line is now closed for repairs, and is expected to reopen in September. New tracks, electrical wiring, and traffic signal synchronization are expected to quicken the ride from Long Beach to Downtown LA by as much as 10 minutes. — Elijah Chiland, Curbed LA transportation reporter [Click to view images]( [Mapping LA’s Zoot Suit Riots]( Some of the worst racial violence in Los Angeles history occurred 76 years ago.
