A historic LA neighborhood northwest of downtown, between Silver Lake and Elysian Park, organized around Echo Park Lake. Long the city's principal Latino-and-LGBTQ counterculture neighborhood; today a mixed-immigrant, gentrifying corridor with a substantial independent-business and metaphysical-retail economy along Sunset Boulevard. Founding home of House of Intuition — Marlene Vargas + Alex Naranjo's botánica-influenced metaphysical shop chain, anchored at 2237 W Sunset Blvd.
What this is
Echo Park is an LA neighborhood between downtown and Silver Lake, organized around Echo Park Lake (the 1892 reservoir-turned-public-park). The neighborhood’s [[eating-the-landscape|identity]] has carried through several layers: 1920s Hollywood-era residential development, mid-century Latino-and-Filipino immigrant settlement, late-20th-century LGBTQ counterculture, and the contemporary mixed gentrification + immigrant-business pressure along the Sunset Boulevard corridor.
