Laurel Canyon Photo Day - Break Out With Your Hippie Self!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

Laurel Canyon has a special event on one Sunday in October every year: Laurel Canyon Photo Day. All the residents of our peaceful, mellow, rock-n-roll canyon go to The Laurel Canyon Country Store for food, music and conversation. It's as friendly and folksy as you would expect the "Home of Rock-n-Roll" to be. It's my canyon, and I love it! Once you're here, you never leave. (Remember that line in Hotel California by the Eagles?) Hmmmm...Joni Mitchell and david Crosby

Laurel Canyon Photo Day always ends with a giant group photo during which traffic is actually halted on busy Laurel Canyon Blvd. This has been a tradition for many years. Locals climb trees and poles just to make sureJim Morrison their mugshot is part of canyon history. In the photos proudly Laurel Canyon Posterposted inside our local hippie-type hang-out, you can spot Jim Morrison - one of our most famous former canyon denizens. Come join in the fun and be part of Laurel Canyon history. Date to be announced soon!

Check out the video of last year's event:

John, I hear ya' friend:

...We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way...

Thanks, Scott - it's an unusual event for L.A., and special because of the canyon's history and the rockers who still live here. Rock-n-roll lives in Laurel Canyon!
