I read about "Secret Stairs" in the LA Times a few weeks ago - ordered the book and got excited to try one of the walks out. So Harry and I headed to Echo Park this a.m. We were not disappointed either. Above is a beautiful old Ukranian Orthodox church we came across! We also had a birdseye view of Dodger Stadium, and a magnificent view of LA!
There were varied and beautiful trees, World War I memorial plaques, a "memory" grove dedicated to the fallen, the ruins of an old house - all that was left were the front stairs! - and a shaded sidewalk hidden behind storefronts where several old houses stood. And there were 5 sets of stairs. Next time I'll remember to get shots of the stairs!!
After, we had lunch at Lot 1 Cafe - and it was good. I'm excited for our next adventure. The author rates them on a scale of 1 to 5 - this one was a 2. Next time I'm branching out and going for 2.5!!
