This once vibrant community of families\, businesses\, and associations with roots going back to the middle of the 19th century was a place where residents persisted\, grew rapidly\, and thrived.  Where You Stand: Chinatown 1880 to 1939 invites participants into the center of the vibrant community through a multi-dimensional experience. Installed in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery\, view the exhibits’ historic photographs\, listen to oral history recordings\, and use augmented reality to see artifact materials superimposed within locations around Union Station. Audiences can explore the site’s historic layers\, formerly a collection of alleyways\, streets\, and buildings\, and home to thousands of Chinese residents in the late 19th to early 20th century Los Angeles. \nThis temporary exhibition is part of a wider collaboration among Metro Art\, The Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West\, the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California\, USC Cinema\, and the Huntington Library that will culminate in an augmented reality (AR) experience and associated project website made possible in part with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nFor related content please visit our partner websites. \nThe translations and additional elements of the exhibit are accessible using QR codes with your mobile device or by visiting whereyoustand.site \n\n \n \n \n \n Fong See stands in front of F.

An additional tour will be offered this summer–details to be announced. \nWhile the Pacific Electric Railway’s Red Cars are one of the best-known fixtures of Los Angeles rail history\, whose name evokes trolley trips to the beaches or mountains for Angeleno history buffs\, the Yellow Cars of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (or LARy) were equally important. \nFeaturing materials sourced from the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, Metro Art’s exhibition in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery\, The Yellow Car and Los Angeles\, offers a fond look back at two foundations of public transit in the region: the Yellow Cars and the transition to LA’s first years of bus service. Together\, these early rail and bus lines shaped the Metro system we have today. \nLearn about the history of the Yellow Cars\, how the system connected to Union Station\, and the experience of this LA architectural landmark in its early years. This tour will be co-led by Chris Salvano\, Digital Resources Librarian in the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, and Barbara Lashenick\, Metro Art Docent Council Founder. \nThe tour will begin at the Information Kiosk\, just inside the Alameda side of Historic Union Station\, and involve minimal walking. Following the tour\, guests are encouraged to grab lunch at the station or wander across the street to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. \nTour is free. \nRSVP on Eventbrite. \n> Learn more about the Yellow Car exhibition\n> Learn more about the Waiting Room Gallery at Union Station URL:https://art.metro.net/event/yellow-car-tour/ LOCATION:Union Station\, 800 N.
