Monday, July 22nd, 2002Free House! Well, if you move it it is yours: Neighbor Judy Oroshnik (323.669.2921) has a neighbor at 1480 Avon Park Terrace who has plans to demolish her home in a few months and rebuild a contemporary bungalow/craftsman on the same lot. If anyone is ambitious enough to move the structure to another lot within her time frame, she would be pleased to see it have a new life in another neighborhood. As you all may know, our community is intimately familiar with relocating historical properties. In fact, one of the surviving structures on the soon-to-be-new-library-lot is moving to Angelino Heights. Its new owner, Kevin Kuzma, would be a great source of information about the process of moving structures. He can be contacted through the Echo Park Historical Society at 323.860.8874

Saturday, July 6th, 2002Echo Park Actor Roger Smith performs his new solo work Iceland at the California Plaza Watecourt Downtown this Friday at 8.00PM. Here’s what Grand Performances has to say: The creator of the Obie Award winning solo performance A Huey P. Newton Story has constructed what the Chicago Tribune calls “a thrilling and wholly elegant piece of writing by an author-performer with palpable, singular gifts for the provocative” These words aptly describe Roger Guenveur Smith and his new solo performance work, Iceland. It is a love story that crosses oceans, revealing the hearts of multiple characters from the tropics to the Arctic and eventually, back home to Brooklyn.
