West Hollywood CA: Free Weekend Night Trolley Rides


The WeHo PickUp Line is nothing like the old cartoon Toonerville Trolley. Actually the vehicle is a modern bus that’s painted brilliant yellow, and somewhat resembles a classic old-time trolley car. For those who enjoy the popular West Hollywood weekend nightlife, the city offers this free service.

It's a Friday and Saturday night route that runs along Santa Monica Boulevard every 15 minutes from 8 pm to 3 am between Robertson Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. The PickUp Line is an on and off convenience for those who’d rather not drive on the busy and crowded Santa Monica route. The West Hollywood street is part of the famed 2,500-mile Route 66 that ends 10 miles west at the Pacific Ocean beaches.

The PickUp Line also offers car drivers opportunities to park in nearby areas that are less expensive or free. The service is more than just a ride. There’s a photo booth aboard called the PickUp Shot for riders with Instagram service. Additionally, a live disc jockey spins music for riders to enjoy along the way.

Savvy Senior Travelers Can Ask In A Dozen Ways PDF Print E-mail


It happens to all of us, age one or 100, whether around the corner from home or around the world. Ya gotta go, especially if you’ve just eaten a strange fried food from a native street cart.

The urgent question is: Where’s the restroom? Here are just a few examples senior travelers may need.

Spanish: ¿Dónde están los aseos? French: Où sont les toilettes? German: wo ist die Toilette? Chinese Cantonese: Chiso hai bindough a? Danish: Hvor er toilettet? Hebrew: Eifo ha'sheirutim? Turkey: Tuvalet nerede? England/Scotland/Ireland: Where’s the loo? Brooklyn: Hey, I gotta go real bad!

Note: Before visiting foreign lands, learn native phrases and pronunciations to request this vital need. Additionally, before you travel, ask your agent or check the internet about the latest in safe, personal needs. Always carry emergency supplies, such as toilet paper, paper seat covers, sanitizing wipes, underwear lining and other hygiene items.
