Even at the height of the real estate boom, the City had no money for public staircase repair. Let's hope we don't have a big El Nino year, as the Corralitas Pits of Doom still loom below this section of staircase.
The Corralitas Red Car Property was a private right-of-way through Silver Lake (Los Angeles) for the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar. The “Big Red Cars” ran until 1955 when the Glendale Line was decommissioned for freeway construction. For more than 40 years, a series of developers tried and failed to develop the Corralitas Red Car Property.
It's not a park, it just looks like one.
