Velaslavasay Panorama's Neighborhood Map

When the Union Theatre, home of the Velaslavasay Panorama, was built in 1910, Los Angeles was served by an extensive system of streetcars and other rail transit. Indeed, University Park and surrounding neighborhoods are some of the few in the region that were built before the car became the primary way to get around.

We invite you to follow the ghosts of the early twentieth century rail lines, connecting the Velaslavasay Panorama to LA Metro’s current stations to the east, south, and southwest of us. Explore our Los Angeles, what’s here, what was here.
