Photo: 2/17/07 by Martin Cox, who, in Martin's words, "is at this very moment coining the term 'echographer,' one who photographs Echo Park."

At last, a red-tile roof for the Echo Park Lake Boathouse! The boathouse is part of the Echo Park Lake Tour, March 24, offered by the Echo Park Historical Society.

Echographer Martin Cox has a show at The Lost Studio Gallery on La Brea. The show runs concurrently with "Moonlight," a Harold Pinter play in the theater adjacent to the gallery.

Sunday, in response to my Valentine's Day Massacre post, I received the following email, quoted here in its entirety, from a traffic officer who also happens to be an Echo Park resident. He/she says the Department of Parking Enforcement did not have a quota.
