Standing majestically outside the Coliseum and California Science Center, this Washingtonia filifera is the oldest palm tree in L.A., a symbol of resilience and history. It’s thrived through relocations, witnessing transformative moments like the CicLAvia festival, which brought the community together to celebrate mobility, and the spectacular Endeavour rocket’s journey up Figueroa. Each day, this timeless tree stands tall, its fronds swaying gently as it remembers the 1932 Olympics, a pinnacle of sport and culture. Capturing its spirit in photos brings joy, reminding us that, like this magnificent palm, enduring roots can weather the storms of time and change.
