They’ve set to date! The Echo Park Historical Society is about to produce its first-ever EPHS 2003 Historic Home Tour, scheduled to take place one day only, on Sunday, November 9 from 11 am to 4 pm

Titled “Restored, Remodeled and remade,” the Historic Echo Park Home Tour will feature homes in and around Echo Park in a variety of styles - transitional Victorian, Craftsman bungalows, Spanish 20s, mid-century cottage - in settings that range from humble street corners to hillside views.  (more…)

Put simply, Room 8 was - is - one of the Park Echo’s most famous residents, and, between rock stars, art stars, writers and intellectuals, political luminaries, we have had quite our share.There are photographs of the self-Possessed Tabby on Echo Park Historical Society calendars and mounted on the wall of local restaurants, there’s the mural on the side of Elysian Heights Elementary, there are testimonials - Dozens of them - carved into the cement on Baxter St . and Echo Park Ave in front of the school where children wrote their names and a few personal words about the feline superstar.
