Olvera Street & Union Station - Los Angeles

Olvera Street, the first street of Los Angeles and the location where settlers marched nine miles from nearby Mission San Gabriel, broke ground under a giant Oak Tree and created the City of Angels.

One of the first sources of water for "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula", Los Angeles' original name. So LA is actually the City of the Queen of Angels as opposed to merely the City of Angels. Behind this historic fountain is junk for tourists.
