Sports and Recreation in Echo Park
We recently received a lovely letter from one of our readers:
I would love to be a part of a softball team in our area but there is little or no info out there. I know Los Angeles has a recreational sports website but they don’t really offer anything local. Elysian Park has fields that are usually open and if there is enough interest around town, maybe we could organize a Sunday league. Do you have any thoughts, info, suggestions?
Why, yes, dear reader. We do have some thoughts, info and suggestions! The Echo Park Recreation Center is located at 1632 Bellevue Ave (across from the lake, on both sides of the 101 freeway). It has tennis courts, a baseball diamond, basketball courts and a lot more. The center is under construction, so some of its facilities (such as the outdoor pool) are not accessible at the moment. They also offer a bunch of classes and leagues for kids, but adult teams and leagues are a little more scarce. I recommend checking out their Facebook page for announcements. You can also call them at 213-250-3578 (the phone number on their Facebook page is incorrect) or drop in. Don’t let the scaffolding fool you, they are open right now. Their hours are 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Friday, Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm and Sunday from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm.
If aquatic activities are more your bag, I suggest checking out the Echo Park Deep Pool. There is a full-sized indoor pool and offer swimming and water exercise classes. It’s located at 1419 Colton St. The cost for adults is $2.50 to swim, but with your Library card it’s only $2.00.
Another suggestion we have is to look outside the borders of our neighborhood. The Silver Lake Recreation Center has an indoor gym, basketball courts and a baseball diamond. However, they offer mostly classes for kids.Your best bet for adult and senior classes is the Griffith Park Adult Community Center. They offer yoga, tai chi, cardio classes and more.
Another fun thing that you more adventurous types might want to check out: the Los Angeles Dodgeball Society. There’s a Silver Lake league that starts up on April 25th.

All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you could fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.
Taxes and healthcare have difficult requirements. We kept our residency for tax purposes. So for any side gigs, passion projects, we still pay Canadian taxes. For healthcare, we’re planning to use expat insurance (for example, using Cigna insurance) going forward, once we no longer meet the OHIP requirements (you’re allowed to have 2 one year vacation gaps. After that you need to be in Ontario for 5 months out of the year). Expat insurance isn’t too expensive though (provided you stay out of the States) and is estimated to be around $1500-$3000/year for 2 people.
Good write-up. I absolutely appreciate this site. Keep it up!
I’ve been exploring for a little for any high quality articles or weblog posts on this sort of area .
Exploring in Yahoo I eventually stumbled upon this web site.
Reading this info So i am satisfied to show that
I’ve an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling I found out just what I needed.
I most indubitably will make certain to don?t put out of your mind this web
site and provides it a glance on a constant basis.
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal
but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m
not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
Many thanks
Thankfulness to my father who told me regarding this blog, this blog is really
awesome.
https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf[ Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane InvestigationThis report was originally issued on December 9, 2019. The report was updated on December 11, 2019.OIG Methodology“…Our role in this review was not to second-guess discretionary judgments by Department personnel about whether to open an investigation, or specific judgment calls made during the course of an investigation, where those decisions complied with or were authorized by Department rules, policies, or procedures.…” ]The O.I.G. Report documented a multitude of intentional misrepresentations of material facts ( to the common man: lies ) by the F.B.I. to deceive the F.I.S.A. court into finding that probable cause existed to determine Mr. Carter Page was a Kremlin agent. The first F.I.S.A. warrant to spy on Mr. Page was obtained during the 2016 election, after Mr. Page had left candidate Trump’s campaign, but weeks before the election was to be held.The warrant application submitted regarding Mr. Page, the O.I.G. Report, in its own words, “found that FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement in FBI policy that they ensure that all factual statements in a FISA application are ‘scrupulously accurate.’” Specifically, “we identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed.”It’s vital to reiterate this because of its gravity: we identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed.The specifics cited by the O.I. G. Report are even more damning. Specifically, “based upon the information known to the FBI in October 2016, the first application contained seven significant inaccuracies and omissions.” Among those “significant inaccuracies and omissions”: the F.B.I. intentional failed to state that Mr. Page had been working with the C.I.A. in connection with his dealings with Russia and had notified C.I.A. case managers of at least some of those contacts after he was “approved as an ‘operational contact’” with Russia; the F.B.I. intentionally misrepresented material facts ( to the common man: lied ) about both the timing and substance of Mr. Page’s relationship with the C.I.A.; completely, intentionally misrepresented the value and corroboration of Mr. Steele’s prior work for the U.S. Government to make him appear more credible than he was; and intentional failed to inform ( to the common man: lied ) the court of serious reasons to doubt the reliability of Mr. Steele’s key source.Moreover, the F.B.I.’s heavy reliance on the Steele Dossier to obtain the FISA warrant – a fact that many leading national security reporters spent two years denying occurred – was particularly concerning because, as the O.I.G. Report put it, “we found that the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page in Steele’s reporting when it relied upon his reports in the first FISA application or subsequent renewal applications.”To spy on a U.S. citizen in the middle of an election, one who had just been working with one of the two major presidential campaigns, the F.B.I. trumpeted ( no pun intended ) a gossipy, fabricated, rumored, imagined, completely unverified and totally unreliable rag, which it had no reason to trust and every reason to distrust. Rather, it intentionally, consciously chose not to advise the F.IS.A. court of the known, verified material, relevant facts. Why? Why lie? Because the F.B.I. desired, needed the F.I.S.A. Court to conclude the Steele Dossier was something it was not, if the court were to issue to the F.B.I. a warrant authorizing the F.B.I. to spy on a private citizen, Mr. Carter Page.But, was it only on one private citizen? How does a F.I.S.A. warrant work? Does a F.I.S.A. warrant issued as to the U. S. citizen permit the F.B.I. to tap the telephones of people with whom the private citizen communicates? In 2017, the F.B.I. decided to seek reauthorization of the FISA warrant to continue to spy on Mr. Page, and sought and obtained it three times: in January, April and June, 2017. Not only, according to the O.I.G. Report, did the F.B.I. repeat all of those “seven significant inaccuracies and omission,” ( again, to the common man: lies ), but added “ten additional major inaccuracies.” ( again, to the common man: lies ) As the O.I.G. Report put it: “In addition to repeating the seven significant errors contained in the first FISA application and outlined above, we identified 10 additional significant errors in the three renewal applications, based upon information known to the FBI after the first application and before one or more of the renewals.”Among the most significant new unlawful acts of deceit was that the F.B.I. “omitted the fact that Steele’s Primary Subsource, who the FBI found credible, had made statements in January 2017 raising significant questions about the reliability of allegations included in the FISA applications, including, for example, that he/she did not recall any discussion with Person 1 concerning Wikileaks and there was ‘nothing bad’ about the communications between the Kremlin and the Trump team, and that he/she did not report to Steele in July 2016 that Page had met with Sechin.”In other words, Steele’s own key source told the F.B.I. that Steele was lying about what the source said: an obviously critical fact that the F.B.I. simply concealed from the FISA court because it knew how devastating that would be to being able to continue to spy on Page. As the Report put it, “among the most serious of the 10 additional errors we found in the renewal applications was the FBI’s failure to advise [DOJ] or the court of the inconsistences, described in detail in Chapter Six, between Steele and his Primary Sub-source on the reporting relied upon in the FISA applications.”The O.I.G. Report also found that the F.B.I. intentionally, deliberately and willfully failed to disclose to the F.I.S.A. court relevant, material facts, information about Steele’s motives: for instance, it “omitted information obtained from [Bruce] Ohr about Steele and his election reporting, including that (1) Steele’s reporting was going to Clinton’s presidential campaign and others, (2) [Fusion GPS’s Glenn] Simpson was paying Steele to discuss his reporting with the media, and (3) Steele was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being the U.S. President.”If it were not to disturb and disgust you to understand the F.B.I. repeatedly, knowingly, deliberately, willfully and intentionally failed to disclosed to the F.I.S.A. court issuing warrants to spy on a private U. S. citizen in the middle of a presidential campaign … or anytime …, then with reasonable certainty one must conclude you do not possess or hold to the rule of law or to the principles and values liberty, freedom and fairness.Any citizen who bears true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States must necessarily conclude this is yet another example in a long, ugly and illegal history of the F.B.I., it’s Director(s), management and its staff to subvert the rule of law, pervert the U. S. Constitution and destroy the Ideal, Justice is blind.O.I.G. Report reveals more than the illegal actions of the F.B.I. The Report reveals Freedom of the Press works and functions with bias, prejudice and a total lack of integrity and character, certainly the so-called mainstream Press, the corporate Press. In other words, the press are Pressitutes.In sum, the O.I.G. Report was and is a “Human Resources” Report. The Office of Inspector General of the Justice Department had and always will have an inherent and irrevocable conflict of interest, which should ( must!? ) disqualify the position of Inspector General and the Office.Whether Assistant Attorney General Durham faithfully fulfills his charge of a criminal investigation will be known in the fulfillment of time. dennis hannaLoading…
Currently it looks like Expression Engine is the preferred
blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your
blog?
That is a great tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
Short but very accurate information? Many thanks
for sharing this one. A must read article!
Post writing is also a fun, if you know then you can write or else it
is complicated to write.
This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger.
I’ve joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post.
Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!
Excellent post. I absolutely love this site. Continue the good work!
Great weblog right here! Also your web site so much up fast!
What host are you the use of? Can I get your associate link to your
host? I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
Oh, I wasn’t actually talking about like $3,000 LV handbags and stuff, but that is a good example as I don’t see value in stuff with 95+ margins! I’d feel stupid buying such things.I’m talking about the value in living in a house, since the post is about housing as a scam.I LOVE taking long jacuzzi bubble baths while reading a good post or book, for example. So that is what I built in my house. I LOVE lounging on a deck facing west in the afternoon and overlooking the ocean. Sunsets are particularly magical. Hence, that’s what I’m building now. So yes, my values are having a nice lifestyle in a house where I spend 10-15 hours of my life.I DON’T spend more than 1/10th of my income on a car b/c I only spend on average 1 hour a day driving.In other words, I think part of the reason why there’s so much desire for property is because people 1) spend so much time in their homes, 2) want to be free to do whatever they want with their homes without having to move, and 3) if it so happens to ride the inflation wave, which it will, then fantastic.Don’t fight inflation. It will beat you with a stick. Ride inflation, so you can beat its ass instead.Sam
