Vermont / Sunset (Los Angeles Metro Station)
Vermont/Sunset Station is a heavy-rail subway station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It is located at Vermont Avenue and Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, among the East Hollywood neighborhoods of Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and Little Armenia. This station is served by the Red Line.
The intersection of Vermont/Sunset is home to three major area hospitals: Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. The station's main entrance is on the northeast corner of Vermont and Sunset, next to the Saban Research building of CHLA. There is also an elevator-only entrance on the northwest corner, in front of Kaiser.
Michael Davies is the artist for the Vermont/Sunset station, depicting several different themes, the main ones being medical colors (blue) and slides blended with a futuristic space theme. The medical slides placed into circular orbits on the floor of the upper platform area (theme - planets, solar system) are real slides of human cellular structures, including red blood cells, chromosomes, egg and sperm.

Famous quotes containing the words vermont, sunset and/or angeles:
“Anything I can say about New Hampshire
Will serve almost as well about Vermont,
Excepting that they differ in their mountains.
The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“When the
Marne flowed by the plants nodded
And above the glistering Gila
A sunset as beautiful as the Athabasca
Stammered. The Zambezi chimed. The Oxus
Flowed somewhere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Cities are ... distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
