Downtown Los Angeles' Union Station is one of the city's real gems-- which is part of the reason why we got married there. And according to the L.A. Times, what was once a relic of the bygone passenger train era is staging a comeback. Thanks to recent additions like the Metro Red Line and the Metrolink commuter trains, now at least 20,000 commuters pass through the terminal each day. It's still not close to matching the number of people who utilize the East Coast train stations, like D.C.'s Union Station--but hey, this is a car town, so that's a start.
The Times story has a thorough history of Union Station and talks about potential future development around the site-- including housing, restaurants, stores and hotels.
