Blog: My Eagle Rock Daily Photo Digest

A weekly glimpse at my Eagle Rock Daily Photo Blog. My photos feature the Eagle Rock of my childhood, along with my perspective on the "new" Eagle Rock!

This is my first post on Eagle Rock Patch! I'm looking forward to sharing my perspective of our great town with the Patch community. 

I am an Eagle Rock native, having spent the first 25 years of my life on the same street right next to . My family first came to Eagle Rock when my grandfather attended Oxy as a student in the early 1900s, and the ties remain strong! Walking around Eagle Rock is like a constant blast from the past for me. Sometimes I see things that haven't changed since my childhood. Other times the changes are dramatic, so my recollections become a way for me to document the past and share it with others.  

Photography has been part of my life since childhood. I have taken thousands of photos over my life, so when I heard about the City Daily Photo network and noticed that Eagle Rock was not represented, I took the plunge. Every day I post a new photograph on my blog, which is seen by bloggers around the world via the City Daily Photo Portal.

This first post is a collection of nature scenes from the past few months. One of the things I love about Eagle Rock is that even though we are surrounded by city landscape, we have such beautiful natural spots within our borders. I hope you enjoy the photos and then go out and find your own Eagle Rock oasis!

Escott, the Oxy Hill image is beautiful, so painterly in a way, I love it.
Escott O. Norton June 24, 2011 at 02:31 pm
Thanks Richard! And let me say I have enjoyed your photos for a while, and am thrilled to join you here on ERPatch!

Hi Escott,
I too am impressed by your photos, especially the first one!

Thanks for the photo of the street I grew up on. I love the smell of the camphor trees on La Roda, especially after it rains. I look forward to more of your beautiful photographs of my hometown. I enjoyed visiting from my home in Ohio earlier in the month for my 39th reunion from ERHS.

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. Are the camp counsel ours CPR and First Aid certified? 5. Are the camp counselors trained in appropriately managing children? 6.

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.

We in Eagle Rock are very lucky to have a journalist of your caliber keeping us informed!
