Challenge: Where in Eagle Rock Was This Photo Taken?

And what exactly do you suppose this object is?

Can you guess where this photo was taken—and what lies inside the metal box?

Bryan Avila-Galeana July 30, 2012 at 04:20 pm
Taken in front of fire station by Colorado and Maywood. Have no idea what it is though.

Wow, that was FAST, Bryan! Yes, the location is spot on—thanks. Wondering if anyone knows what the box is.

That's Colorado, just east of Maywood. You can tell by the pine tree on the right!

My Guess:
Location Colorado Blvd facing West a block east of Maywood across from Fire Dept/Oinkster. I think it's the sprinkler control box.

Its a blank canvas, awaiting some street artist Shephard Fairey wannabe or a Occupy LA clown promoting the 'Capitalism is Evil' B.S.

Its a traffic light control panel

Funny. I was just thinking the same thing. :P

Put a shirt on dude. This isn't the casual encounters section on Craigslist!

irrigation box, the timer for the sprinklers is in the box
preemero July 31, 2012 at 01:25 pm
the traffic light controls are on the side walk the box is usually twice the size as the irrigation box

It's the box that holds down Eagle Rock. Without it, the town would float out to space.
Leave it alone!

My bad jeff is correct

Mj: Any witnesses to this incident will probably be key to your attempts to prove your son is notRead More lying. You might want to consider speaking to the parents of the student witnesses to try to ensure that the students will come forward and testify if necessary. If the parents can write—or sign—letters supporting your son's version of events, all the better. Get the letters notarized and send them to the concerned authorities, including at LAUSD and LAPD.

Hope you have phone insurance for stolen phones. If not you can file for a claim with LAUSD.

I have some questions about this camp: 1. What are the ages kids need to be in order toRead More participate? 2. What are the planned camp themes and activities? 3. How much does this camp cost? 4.

Maybe they're moving to the space next door to the Comic Book shop. I'd say that there is a 50/50Read More chance that place becomes a massage parlor. Now that the bike lanes are decided, we need to come together to get these "rub and tug" joints closed.

By the posting I'm assuming that this was known to be a "bad place." I see a lot ofRead More massage "parlors" in the Eagle Rock and Glassell Park area but not a lot of real professional CMT's, which is discouraging since that's my cert and trade.

I'm thinking that this may have something to do with it - from the "Grand Theft Auto"Read More story posted today: "In addition, the vice unit of the LAPD Northeast Community Station arrested four women for alleged prostitution during recent investigations of 10 massage parlors in Eagle Rock, Preciado said. Two others were arrested for running massage parlors without a state massage therapy license, Preciado said, adding that the vice unit has not released the addresses where the 10 massage parlors are located.
