There are some interesting recent pieces that tell some things about L.A.'s transit history, and how it shaped the city Angelenos move through today.

For your Friday enjoyment, watch City Beautiful's new YouTube video on the history of L.A.'s once-extensive streetcar systems. Streetsblog USA makes a nice cameo!
