Dentist Office

When I was a kid my first dentist was Dr. Levine.  He opened his practice on Eagle Rock Blvd in the 1960's. I remember being told that he started practicing when I was starting to grow teeth! He was my only dentist for 30 years,  so when he moved his practice to this beautiful brick building on Eagle Rock Blvd and Merton I moved with him.  My young sons even went to him for their early years until he retired.  In later years I used this location for a short movie I made with some other Eagle Rock friends.   Here is a great old photo showing this building in the background with the old streetcar in the foreground.  

Eagle Rock City Hall 1

Eagle Rock was incorporated in 1911 and was then annexed into the City of Los Angeles in 1923.  Just one year before the annexation the City of Eagle Rock built it's own City Hall.  While it didn't serve as City Hall for long, it continues to serve our community 89 years later as an office for our City Councilman, a satellite office for Building and Safety, and a community meeting room.  For more information on our City Hall, this blog has some good pictures and history.

Shadow in the Alley

This little passage just south of Colorado on Eagle Rock Blvd. has always enticed me.  It feels like something from the "mean streets" of a big downtown,  but it's right here in little old Eagle Rock! 

Top of the Hill

At the very top of Oxy Hill there is a detail I bet most people don't notice, unless they accidentally trip over it! Right at the summit there is a concrete block with this survey marker. I thought the remnants of graffiti tags and the light from the setting sun made this boring little marker almost beautiful!

Taking their Owners for a Walk!

Recently I took a walk up OXY Hill.  I always meet nice people, out enjoying this natural oasis right in the middle of our big metropolis! One common thing about many of the people I meet,  there are a lot happy dog owners!  

Blooming Eagle Rock

I noticed people doing some gardening in front of the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock today.  The front landscaping always looks so nice!  Thanks to these fine people for helping make Eagle Rock beautiful!


Here is one of the oddest flowers we have in the area,  a Birds of Paradise. Odd, but beautiful!

This is my first Theme Day post!  As I was shooting pictures at my favorite Eagle Rock hardware store (Tritch, of course!) I chanced to see the sun glinting through a stack of glass louvers outside the back door, and I thought PERFECT! April's theme is "Edges"!   
This also completes the first month of my Daily Photo Blog adventure!  I hope everyone enjoys viewing the blog as much as I enjoy doing it! Thanks for your comments, and tell your friends!
