Metro Expo Line Grand Opening: New Train Line Will Connect Culver City to Downtown LA
by Lorin Ruttenberg on April 26, 2012After 20+ years in Los Angeles I find my town is finally turning into an actual city and I couldn’t be more excited. The subway has arrived. Actually it’s an El train and not only is it here, but it’s growing.
