Mall Trollies of Los Angeles

This post offers a bit of whimsy for those who may enjoy such... the Americana at Brand and Grove malls in Glendale and Los Angeles each have a trolley system running within the mall. While they are built to look a bit Disney-like, they would qualify for real streetcars, as the Grove's car was built on the frame of a Boston PCC and American's was built by Gamoco.

Here's the Americana at Brand trolley passing through the one pocket of sun that I could find. (As an aside, if the guards here catch on that you are photographing the trolley, and not shooting family pics, they will through you out - so bringing along the family is a good idea).

Next image is of The Grove trolley.

Finally, we see a father and son looking through the gate at the Grove trolley (the Americana trolley has a similar depot home, but it is along a street).

Thanks for looking and corrections are welcome.
