@richp60 That is heavy picture you are painting there man! I dig it. I am picturing it in my head it to be an October or November warm L.A. evening in 1977 as the sun sets and turns the sky into an orgasmic purple-orange and golden yellow.
I was looking for a place to live in 1993 L.A. through 'Room mate matchers' on Melrose. They gave me a Xerox of a house and address. A room for $400.!!! a month. It was S.L. The roads were windy and hilly the homes and views were eclectic and breathtaking to me. Soon I was living there. going for beautiful long walks. Worked at Videoactive on Hyperion and making friends. The view from my room was lined with palms, the capital records spire and the observatory and Hollywood sign. I never stopped feeling lucky to have that. Looking back It was a time of excitement mixed with maybe too much indulgence. I also was there for the Northridge earthquake. That was The icing on the cake. Lol.. I can't re-make any of that.
i've lived here my whole 26 years and i can't agree any more with what bluelotus said! it's always been an original and independent community of families, artists and small business. Today i walk in to most places and don't feel at home anymore!! we're being invaded by trendy posers with their tacky hollywood wannabe clothing! please move further down to hollywood! thank you! p.s all you posers from the cha cha lounge stop parking on my street!!!!!!lol
Are the new residents of silverlake really trying to learn and get along with the residents who have been here for ages? I really don't think so. They're just driving up rent prices and I've lived in silverlake all my life and I am a person of color and have actually been treated by these "new" locals like I've just arrived. It's just bullshit. The bigotry isn't coming from the people that are local, it's from the people who have gentrified the neighborhood who happen to be white, case closed.
so then what's your point? out of all the comments written, why'd you respond to mine? I don't need to prove my "roots" to anyone by the way homie. Think before you respond.
Beautiful!
how cool! i like silverlake.
Thank you. That was beautiful! I love Silver Lake!

My husband and I are old odd people of Silver Lake. Come take a look!
I was born here in 1975 at Kaiser Permanente on Sunset. And you? This should be interesting.
what about crazy walking man.?? or the hot dog lady by the fountain.
Is that the short bald guy in shorts and no shirt who always had a news paper in his hand?? ( in the mid 90's?) He was always walking.
When was this filmed?
wow over 8 minutes on Silverlake and not a mention of Neutra or Schindler.....
is this an advertisement for that Casbah place? it stinks in there.
do you live here? didnt think so.
