Vernon Blue Line Station

This train station is one that is located in a sketchy part of town. There are little stores all around, as well as the Alameda swapmeet, which is walking distance. I very rarely ever get off at this stop when I ride the Metro. I’d prefer to skip it, especially during the weekends hours, as this area is gang infested.
Be careful when exiting this station. Use your TAP card to board. Unless you rather pay a $ 250 fine, just pay the fare!!!

Pretty similar to the Florence blue line station. Pretty narrow walkway. when outs full it’s a bitch to walk thru all the people. Plus side there is are several swapmeets, stores, restaurants and even a bud collective. the biggest plus for me :)

My favorite station on the blue line route, because it’s convenient to everything, great food spots and the popular Alameda Swapmeet that’s right around the corner, if your going to the Alameda Swapmeet and don’t want to drive, this is your station to get off at. Also there’s a place called La Carreta down the street on Vernon & Compton a block west that has good Mexican food. Now as for the review of the station, it is in a sketchy neighborhood, it’s cool during the daytime since the station is right at the intersection on Vernon & Long Beach Ave and it’s busy with people getting from point A to point B, but I wouldn’t recommend being here at night. Only giving it 5 starts for it being convenient to everything

Stopped here to arrive at my destination. Not in the greatest part of LA or the cleanest station. Predominated by the Hispanic and African-​American race. Probably not the best place to be alone at night. In the daytime, it’s not too bad since there is a lot of traffic. Many Mexican stores nearby and people selling food on the street. For me it’s just a stop to get where I need to go.
