Echo Park

This was quite the wild neighborhood 20 years ago, still remember the story of my friend coming outside to see his roommate's car on fire. Now rent is the same as Beverly Hills.
Urban street view with tree and signs for parking and a diner; cloudy sky in the background.

Crawford's

Crawford's on Beverly(across from the Original Tommy Burger) is a drab yellow brick building with a sign on either side of the door, Fried Chicken & Ice Cold Beer. If this seems out of place in modern LA, then you wouldn't be surprised to find out the inside is a trip back to a Texas dive bar. Pool tables and a jukebox sit at one end while large leather booths squeeze as many in as possible. They got boiled peanuts and cheap Bud on draft. The fried chicken(their website says best in LA) comes hot or not with only a few side options available. The best thing about Crawford's though, is when you step out those doors you don't have to worry about your reproductive rights
