Blogger says friends were stabbed in Echo Park last night
The blogger of “Your Friend, Savannah” has a startling post today about two friends who were stabbed on the corner of Echo Park Avenue and Montana Street last night: Two friends of ours were out last night and were on their way home. On MONTANA and ECHO PARK they were approached by a man (possibly [...]Signs go up for Echo Park’s new pizza place
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the new pizza place since last year, and it looks like we will soon finally get our chance to try out LA Pizza Company. They moved from nearby Chinatown but will carry on with the same menu, which includes vegan options and even a pupusa-style pizza that we’ve heard is amazing. [...] Echo Park Avenue street paving completed, no lines painted (yet)
It’s like déjà vu from last year’s Sunset Boulevard street paving project, in which the asphalt was laid down but it took about three weeks to get street lines painted. This time – it’s Echo Park Avenue. The Bureau of Street Services paved the long strip of Echo Park Avenue a couple of weekends ago, [...] Echo Park Art Walk tomorrow!

El Grito
Last night, hundreds of Angelenos attended our city's El Grito festivities on Olvera Street.El Grito celebrates Mexico's independence and is not only part of Mexico's history, but a part of Los Angeles's cultural heritage.
I'd like to thank Consul General of Mexico David Figueroa Ortega and Jose Duarte, President of the Comite Civico Patriotico, for joining us.
Celebrating the New Echo Park Solar "BigBelly"
Today we installed a solar-powered “BigBelly” trash can on the corner of Echo Park and Sunset Boulevard. Because it has a built in compactor, the BigBelly unit can hold four times as much trash as the average trash can making it more cost-effective and more environmentally- friendly than traditional trash disposal options.The BigBelly unit, which was funded through city grants, will help prevent overflow trash from ending up in storm drains and in places like Echo Park.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the BigBelly installation possible, including the Trash Abatement Project.
FAME Church's 7th Annual Back to School Giveaway
Over the weekend, I attended the First AME Church and Economic Development Corporations' 7th Annual Back to School Giveaway and Health Fair.Families from around Los Angeles enjoyed free health care screenings, food, and entertainment hosted by Power 106 FM. Kids were also eligible to receive a free pair of shoes, backpack and school supplies to help get them off to a successful new school year.

Music's latest accessory, Echo Park fashion
Posted by Eddie North-Hager on May 22, 2012 at 12:30am 0 Comments 0 Promotions
"Echo Park is a place where Los Angeles’ independent rock bands go to perform and party. The neighborhood’s boutique owners believe music and fashion are joined at the hip, and the thriving music scene drives apparel trends," or so writes Andrew Asch of Apparel News.net.
The fashion trade mag made it up to the hippest part of LA, where music and fashion are one in the same, and featured some of what makes Echo Park special: Backside, Echo Park Independent Co-op and 8 Limbs.
Backside
Backside started business as a music store in Burbank and opened an Echo Park boutique in 2011 with "clothes that the jock and cheerleader set would appreciate."
Owner Tony Essa said of his neighbor, The Echo, “It’s a source for fashion. We are at the epicenter of where it all…
