Los Angeles is a tapestry of diverse neighborhoods and intersections. While disparities do exist between cultural and socioeconomic groups, there are unifying qualities within certain neighborhoods that bridge many gaps. Take for example, the small 2.75 square foot area of Silverlake, a section of L.A. known for its farm-to-table restaurants, hipster vibe, bars, and indie rock scene. This vibrant pedestrian-friendly neighborhood also boasts its own certified farmer's market, as well as community gardens. Pride of residents is evident with sustainably designed art that lines its streets, and multiple opportunities that exist for co-operative projects.
On an impossibly warm and sunny weekend such as this, one discovers this neighborhood by walking and exploring on foot. Dig just deep enough, and you will discover some pleasant surprises. Beauty lies just below, and it's all hidden in the details.
