highland park: El Mio Neighborhood, Highland Park, California - 07/27/09 06:49 AM

highland park: Highland Park, California - 07/26/09 07:25 AM
Highland Park, California, has always been a town of contrasts.
In recent years, journalists from publications such as The New York Times and London's Financial News have visited the area, and published articles praising Highland Park's "cool restaurants and boutiques that draw young trendsetters in skinny jeans, flannel shirts and Converse high tops", or admiring Highland Park's "walkable streets and its glut of handsome old homes".
And all of that is true. And, yes, of course, as a local real estate broker, I enjoy reading it. But wait, there is another dimension to the community of Highland Park.

highland park: The Art District in Highland Park, California - 07/23/09 01:50 PM
Is there really an Art District in Highland Park? As in Highland Park, California?
Yes. Highland Park has a tradition in the arts that dates back to the early 1900's when the USC College of Fine Arts was located right here in Highland Park and visionaries such as Charles Lummis and Antonio Corsi were living in the area.
Historically rich in tradition, the area bordering the Arroyo Seco was Los Angeles' first cultural center at the beginning of the 20th century.
The tradition continues with a concentration of artists continuing to reside in Highland Park, and with new gallery spaces opening regularly. Highland Park is … (3 comments)

Every November I buy a handful of tickets to the Arroyo Arts Discovery Tour, and give them away. For the last couple years, I've sent some of tickets to the staff of the blog, Curbed LA.
It seems one of those tickets found its way into the hands of Catherine Moye, a journalist with the Financial Times of London, who then wrote an article about Highland Park, the Arroyo Arts Collective, and the Arroyo Culture lifestyle.
Some of Bob's comments didn't quite survive the translation from American English to Brit English intact, and Los Feliz became "Los Felos" but all in all, … (1 comments)

highland park: A Very Brief History Of Highland Park - 01/06/07 06:32 AM
In 1781, the City of Los Angeles, known then as the Pueblo de la Reina de la Margen Del Rio de la Porciuncula, was founded and incorporated by Spain. Around this time, in 1784, Jose Maria Verdugo, a retired military soldier and rancher was granted 36,000 acres of land which he named "Rancho San Raphael". He built a small pueblo, using the balance for cattle raising.
Almost 100 years later, part of this Rancho would become the community of Highland Park. Alfred B. Chapman, an attorney, and his partner Andrew Glassell purchased 32,500 acres of this land in 1869 (approximately 50.7 square … (0 comments)
