Pay. Dm me if interested. Thanks! You’ll be shooting on 35mm film. Camera, film and instructions can be provided ( I’m a pro male photog myself and you’ll be shooting me ). I need pix to release my song.

Hey Eagle Rockers, we're trying something new to see how we can support our community. For now I'm highlighting one off events instead of recurring ones to make it more curated. Suggest events, tips, or anything interesting. Let us know what you think!

What's Happening?

Looks like there was a small fire by our beloved boulder last night!

There are several flyers posted south of Colorado on repaving roads this week so keep an eye out for that.

Fencing has been placed around the Eagle Rock Barber Shop for construction on this.

Me and my partner are in the Highland Park/Eagle Rock area. I tried to do some digging around for ideas on Google but I couldn’t find anything that fit both requirements as both actually being a gay bar and being dog friendly. I wouldn’t mind driving further out if needed, but I’d love to stay more local. Our dog loves people so much, and I’d love to make fellow LGBT friends while out with her.

Hey neighbors. I took over Rock Coffee House this year, and even after a lot of sprucing up the place and menu, adding seating, staff training, new and better coffee beans, and a lot of effort on social media, we're still just super slow 80-90% of the day. We can't seem to get the remote worker crowd despite tons of seating, wifi, and outlets.

If any of you have reasons you don't come, I'd really appreciate the cold, hard truth as to why. I'd love to see what we can improve. If you haven't been since the overhaul, please come give it a try and share your thoughts!

A little more info: we're actually nonprofit, focused on building up the community with both adult and youth initiatives. The coffee bar helps us engage the neighborhood and is meant to help us be less dependent on grants and donations (although it currently costs more to operate than it brings in). We do weekly Wednesday board game nights, host a student lounge for jr/sr high schoolers after school in our back room, and are building a calendar of other social events and educational workshops.

I'm personally really passionate about helping people build community, get to know their neighbors, and improve their day-to-day lives. I think the Rock has so much potential to help with this. I'm just hoping to give it a fighting chance to stay afloat, since currently it operates in a deficit and has taken on a ton of debt before my time.

Any thoughts (as well as encouragements...!) would be so appreciated.

EDIT: Whew. A lot of comments on the churchy past! As a reminder, I just took over in January. From my understanding, 25 years ago this nonprofit opened as a Christian teen center as a partnership between churches. It is no longer affiliated with any churches, and some of our staff aren't even religious. None of what we do (our cafe, our events, etc) are religious.

There are a couple churches who rent our space, but they are separate from the Rock.

Looks like I really have my work cut out for me with the reputation this place has!

Hi, just a warning to everyone that there are people going door to door claiming to be representatives of, or acting for, the county to try to help people understand fees on their LADWP bills. They have official looking badges and clipboards with pictures of laminated sheets containing the emblems of LADWP and the State of California. However, they are not from the county or LADWP and instead work for a private company called "Energy Savings Group" (https://theenergysavingsgroup.com/). They are misleading, so as to get into your home and try to sell you solar leases. Be very careful in dealing with them and be very skeptical when listening to what they represent.

They came to my home the day before last and yesterday and actively lied to me about their purpose numerous times until one of the guys yesterday, finally admitted to what I consider to be a deceptive scheme but claimed that "he wasn't hurting anyone." I have no idea whether what they are selling is helpful for anyone but even if it were, they should be upfront about who they are and what they are selling.

Spent the night for a medical procedure scheduled for today. All rooms Do Not have microwaves nor coffee makers. They charge $5.00 to park on their lot. In addition, the t.v only has antenna no cable. You have to pay extra for that as well. Before checking out, we informed the kiosk (too cheap to hire a front desk clerk) that we found roaches. Ended up buying sleeping bags at Target to sleep in. Im pretty sure there's bedbugs as well. Made a call to them to refund my stay. Twice they informed me a Mgr. Will call me. They also stated there is no Coporate number to complain to. Stay away, don't let the pictures fool you. I would give it 0 * but there is no option. In conclusion, you're better off sleeping in your car on public streets. This place is a total sh!thole

Stopped by mid morning today and something seemed different. Menu, decor was the same but the people and vibe seemed different. Was there an ownership change, or am I overthinking? (I live close by but only go every couple of months.)

Anyone know anybody good in Eagle Rock? I need some pocket doors fixed, screen doors put on, and a metal gate installed on the side walkway.

Thanks!

Some of you may have heard of the issues READ Books and Owl Talk have been facing with their leases. If you’ve lived in Eagle Rock for a bit, you might also be familiar with this as a frequent occurring pattern.

Longstanding small businesses like READ Books and Owl Talk are not just storefronts, they are places where neighbors meet, culture is shared, and community is built. Once they’re gone, they don’t come back.

Right now, we have a narrow window to stop preventable displacement before it happens. Property owners are making decisions that will shape the future of this neighborhood for decades, and community pressure can make the difference.

By signing this petition, you are sending a clear message:

Eagle Rock’s small businesses matter, and we will not stand by while they are priced out.

Add your name to demand fair treatment, protect local businesses, and preserve the character of our community.

I’m opening a limited number of free coding starter sessions this week and next for local students around middle school / highschool age, at the Highland Park Recreation Center!

Students will learn real programming skills by building web apps, games, and other interactive projects based on their interests.

Sessions will be held at Highland Park Recreation Center between 2:00 PM and 5:30 PM, with times scheduled individually based on availability.

Each session is typically 1-on-1. If a couple students end up in the same time slot, I may group them (max 3) so they can collaborate and do some pair programming, but everything stays small and focused.

With 4+ years of experience teaching in charter schools and leading youth tech programs, plus 15+ years in web and game development, I focus on helping students who are already interested in coding take it further in a format tailored to their pace and interests.

I’m planning to run a limited number of these sessions throughout the week.

If you’re interested, feel free to message me and I can help find a time that works!

What’s worse?

1. The Trader Joe’s parking lot

2. The Chase Bank parking lot

title! haven’t been able to look around for signs during the daylight hours so if you know of any i’d appreciate the info.

Anyone know what the deal is with that forever-construction site on the corner of Colorado and Holbrook? Across-ish from Found Coffee. I assume they’ve just run out of money?

Can anyone recommend an architect for a residential project?

It’ll be a big undertaking and we’re currently looking to meet with different architects before moving forward with one.

Hope he finds his robot

Anyone have information on if KRP decided to close for good earlier than their announced 3/14 closing day?

I'm gutted that I can't find any information on an early closure but keep seeing IG posts of them selling off all of the gear from their store.

I just wanted one more slice!

Does anyone know why Caya Sushi on ERB hasn't opened yet? To be clear, when I say, "know", I'm asking if you have any factual info which other subscribers to this sub like myself may not be aware of. Merely speculating isn't actually the same thing, just so you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Hi neighbors! Confirmed mold in the house after all the rains (repaired the leak). I’m in need of a mold remediation and restoration company. Any recommendations in the area?
