I am an Angeleno. I was born in the Kaiser hospital on Sunset Blvd in Silverlake. When I was little, my mom would take me to Echo Park lake to see the birds that hung out around the lake. I remember the swans. They weren't very friendly :)
I was happy to hear that they cleaned up the park. The water is now clean and the lotus blossoms and paddle boats are back! I didn't spot any swans though :(
It was a hot day in Echo Park so I wore some comfortable flats I got on sale from Wet Seal for $11.99. The skirt I got from Nordstrom's BP section about five years ago. I think I paid around $35-40 for it, and it's one of my favorite items of clothing to wear. I got the gun crop top from a store on Melrose for about $10.
I am proud of my roots and my hometown. I'm thrilled that our public transit options are growing, and that old gems like Echo Park Lake are being restored.
