Deep within Exposition Park stands the magnificent Washingtonia filifera, a resilient palm that has graced Los Angeles since its relocation in 1914. Towering gracefully at the corner of Exposition Park Drive and West 39th Street, this century-old sentinel has witnessed a city transform. Originally known as the "Arcade Palm," it welcomed weary travelers disembarking at Arcade Depot in the late 1800s. It endured the advent of the 1932 Olympics, a testament to the city’s evolving spirit, and embraced the vibrant energy of the 1960s civil rights movements nearby. A true icon, it bridges Los Angeles’ storied past and dynamic present!
