May 27, 2011 at 10:03 comment added Sergey Melikhov Pietro: sorry, I misread your answer. I now deleted mine. For the record: 1) A specific closed connected subset of the plane that is not path connected is the topologist's sine curve. 2) Your argument shows that a locally compact space is a continuous proper image of the real line if and only if it is separable, metrizable, connected and locally connected. 3) A related characterization is, a space is a continuous open image of the Baire space (=the subspace of the real line consisting of irrational numbers) if and only if it is Polish (=separable and metrizable by complete metric).

May 25, 2011 at 19:18 comment added Garabed Gulbenkian Thanks, Pietro for your answer which makes me feel stupid for not having thought of it myself. If I modify my second question by asking whether every arcwise connected subset of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space is a continuous image of L, I still suspect that the answer would be "no".
