We woke up early Friday morning, January 21, to the sounds of a very low-lying helicopter nearby. Turns out, there were news helicopters capturing a house fire at nearby 1324 Sutherland St, and we read about the fire later on The Eastsider LA. The narrow street and limited access to the house made it difficult […]
My, how a lot has changed! There aren’t a lot of bikini-clad women hanging around the lake these days, but this is a great video of Echo Park Lake in the 1960s with Jody Miller for her song “Things”: The video is actually a scopitone – basically a music video that played on a jukebox […]
Brian W. posted this on the world wide web a couple of days ago, and it’s really a nice video of Echo Park Lake. If you’re looking to sell your parents or a friend on visiting you in your new pad in Echo Park, this is the video for you. Echo Park Dusk from Brian […]
Echo Park resident David found this adorable dog last week on Sargent Place north of Scott. He’s hoping to find the owner soon! I’m calling him Buddy. I found him on Monday, January 17 on Sargent Place near the roundabout. I assume he was wandering in Elysian Park. He fell in with my three other […]
An email forwarded to the Echo Elysian Neighborhood Council Yahoo! Forum the other day announced some good news about the city’s graffiti abatement programs. Pat Gomez, the city’s murals manager, writes, “This is to update you that the graffiti abatement cut was removed from the budget reduction recommendations approved by Council and forwarded to the […]
We got the heads up about this new restaurant back in November when we spoke to Echo Park resident Jason Michaud (owner of Local in Silver Lake) about newly opened vintage store Tosen in Echo Park. But the details hadn’t been quite set in stone yet as he had been negotiating with property owner Walgreens […]
While we don’t usually post events that are outside Echo Park’s boundaries, reader Katya is a fan of the blog and lives nearby – so why not? This is the second weekend for Silver Lake resident Katya Lidsky’s one-woman show called “I’m Sorry.” She told us it’s a “funny dramedy about how I went from […]
There are a lot of shops opening and closing these days in Echo Park, and especially a lot of vintage stores coming in to take advantage of the hipster spotlight. This time, however, one is closing its doors for good. 2Bad Vintage is located at 1651 W. Temple St. on the border of Echo Park […]
Stories Books & Cafe here in Echo Park got a great shout-out in the LA Times online today. The article features the cute bookstore as the “Bookstore of the Week.” We love Stories for the $5 Mac ‘n Cheese Mondays, the free wi-fi, and its close proximity to a coin laundro-mat as well as 826LA. […]
Fix Coffee is gearing up to apply for a wine and beer license for its location all the way up Echo Park Avenue in Elysian Valley. A quiet neighborhood, it will definitely be a different place to grab a beer than the other jam-packed locations along Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park. No official applications have […]
We received an email from one of our readers yesterday, asking the question on many local’s minds: I live on Belmont ave. above the lake. How much is the upcoming rehabilitation expected to impact quality of life for nearby residents? The answer is unfortunate but simple: It’s not going to be pleasant. While the Prop […]

A Facebook update Saturday on the Echo Park Cycles page is hinting at the possible closure of the bicycle repair and sales shop on Echo Park Avenue. “closeout sale 50% off everything must gooo” reads the update, but no specific information has been given as of yet. We’re hoping it’s not true – we’ve gotten […]
