Third gun among list of items found in Echo Park Lake

Image via The Eastsider LA

In November 2011, we published the list of items found at the bottom of Echo Park Lake. Of the various items beyond the usual toys, trash and debris there were skateboards, office chairs, shopping carts and even a pay telephone. But the two guns, a hand gun and a rifle, were items of interest as the public pondered over what they would find in relation to criminal activities that the lake was once notorious for.

But after a recent article published by Los Angeles Magazine, which states there were a total of three guns found in the sludge, we got curious. A representative from the Bureau of Engineering confirmed that there was indeed a third gun found later on – a gun that was so rusted (like the others) that is was not “considered to be useful for any investigations” by the LAPD.

It had been since the 1984 Olympics that Echo Park Lake was last drained and dredged, leaving many to ponder the items that sank to the bottom of the lake. Despite that cleaning, even an 1880s-era wagon wheel was found in this last cleanup, and many of us all wondered what else was under there. No dead bodies, just three guns, a parking enforcement booth, a toil, and lonely 20 frisbees.

Now that the lake is all filled up, Saturday morning is the grand opening after a year and a half of construction. Make your way to the corner of Park and Logan at 10:00 am for the festivities!

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having
    a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
    unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Cheers!

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem
    to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this
    is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser
    compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The
    layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks

  5. Leonardo Martins de Almeida says:

    I do accept as true with all the ideas you’ve introduced on your post.

    They are very convincing and can definitely work.
    Still, the posts are too quick for beginners.
    May you please extend them a bit from subsequent time?
    Thanks for the post.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw
    away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  7. Adriana says:

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up?

    I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or
    advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
