Tim vs. Eric in the battle for the Mayor of Masa
Masa of Echo Park is one of the great neighborhood establishments, where everyone knows your name (we’ve been going since 2005, before they even had a beer and wine!). And the hubby and I aren’t the only ones who frequent the bar stools at Masa, but our view is always the same – two framed […]

Filmed in Echo Park: Nude Data music video debut
On occasion I like to post about cool things filmed in Echo Park, but this one is particularly special because it’s the debut music video of our very, very good friends of Nude Data.

Not all Echo Park girls are contemptible
Thanks to LAist for circulating this online gem: Some dude’s rant that, though hilarious and fairly well-written, describes Echo Park and Silver Lake (note the spelling on the latter) as self-absorbed tomboys without brains. And by well-written, we mean compared to all the other non-nonsensical, misspelled and downright bat-shit crazy stuff that comes to […]
