The Gold Line Eastside Extension celebrated its grand opening yesterday, 11.15.09, and we rode it this morning from Vista Del Sol to Union Station in less than 10 minutes! There was a buzz of excitement from the ridership, who included Councilmember Jose Huizar and MTA CEO Art Leahy, onboard our train. For dinner, we counted ~500 steps to walk to the Pico/Aliso Station for ramen in Little Tokyo, the next northbound stop 3 min. away - how delectably convenient!
Thank you, MTA, for connecting Vista Del Sol with Pasadena/Arcadia to the north and Monterey Park to the east, with such an enjoyable and environmentally responsible transportation option: the Gold Line!
