Back in Eagle Rock for a brief visit and Friday, my first day back, I was greeted with many positive sights, making me optimistic for a safer, livelier, more active, and more pleasant neighborhood environment. Here’s what I saw: My walk through Eagle Rock ended on the corner of Eagle Rock Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard. [...]

I often mention how much I enjoy Spitz, if not on this blog, on twitter, or in person. An excellent restaurant and considered ‘healthy fast food‘. I absolutely love ‘not unhappy hour’, the veg sandwich, and the streetcart fries. I also declared Spitz as the restaurant with the best outdoor seating in Eagle Rock. When [...]

I have enjoyed relaxing for most of this Saturday, taking things real slow as opposed to the school week where I only have seconds to spare. So how do I spend downtime? Walking to the market to pick up some fruits and veggies, catching up on blogs I read, writing emails, and of course watch [...]

I enjoyed a good bit of walking and biking today though unfortunately did not have a camera on hand for the first half of my outings. Today I walked from Oak Grove area to Delevan Drive area to meet the-soon-to-be-blogging-about-vegetarian-eating-and-fit-living hippierunner. About two miles. We then walked to the excellent restaurant Spitz via Yosemite Way/College View/Colorado [...]

There’s a bit of an 80′s invasion in today’s installment of ‘Alleys Rock!’ but perhaps I have already said too much, too early, let’s zoom out… Today’s alley is nestled between Glacier Drive, Oak Grove Drive, and Ruth Avenue. It’s one of the shorter alleys, only spanning about 145 feet. Obscuring it, and likely making [...]

Today I went for a walk around town, something I have not had the opportunity to do lately for a variety of reasons. Most prominently, I twisted my ankle crossing the street about a month ago and I am just getting to the point where I can go with absolutely no pain during or after [...]
Not A Through Street: Casper Avenue/ Colorado Boulevard

Today NATS (Not A Through Street) brings us to Casper Ave, a small, out of place street. It is parallel to Eagle Rock Boulevard and perpendicular to Colorado Boulevard, the life of Eagle Rock. Casper also crosses Chickasaw Ave and is within close proximity to Fair Park Ave, two of Eagle Rock’s most disjointed streets. [...]
Not A Through Street: Delevan Drive/Range Road

This is an introduction to two segment I hope to have recurring: 1) exploration of the many “Not Through” streets of Eagle Rock 2) Reasons to ‘walk Eagle Rock’. A landmark icon of any typical suburb is a cul-de-sac, a street to nowhere. Iconic cities have a vibrant downtown with plenty of life. Eagle Rock [...]
