摘要

Arriving at Union Station after its grand opening in 1939, out-of-town guests to Los Angeles would have encountered a monumental lobby rivaling those of the great train stations back East. Passing under the vaulted timber ceiling hung with wrought-iron chandeliers and alongside rows of oversized leather chairs, visitors would have walked through a building that stood as the culmination of a series of radical transformations in the make-up of the Plaza district of Los Angeles (Figure 1). Just across the Plaza from the station, they would have encountered Mexican-themed Olvera Street, whose successful reinvention had been crucial to the eventual selection of the Plaza site, and the Mission Revival style, for the brand new station (Figure 2). At the end of Olvera Street, they would only have to cross one more boulevard to arrive at yet another themed district, this one called China City, which opened just a year before the station and hosted an array of Chinese-themed restaurants and shops (Figure 3). The transition from a Mexican pueblo to a Chinese neighborhood may have come as a surprise to visitors, or perhaps it seemed natural in a city already notorious for its elaborate fictions.
