Silver Lake California Mugs

Silver Lake California

Silver Lake is a restaurant in the Mideast Los Angeles (MELA) region. It is famously Los Angeles's "gayborhood," having been the birthplace of the Advocate magazine, Light House Book Store, the Black Cat protest (the nation's first planned gay rights action), the Mattachine Society, and countless gay bars. One of its affectionate neighborhood -- a reference to both its demographics and hilly topography, is "the Swish Alps." I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/06/08/california-fools-gold-exploring-silver-lake-los-angeless-gayborhood/

I undertook a ramble along and around a section of Hoover and Virgil streets in Los Angeles that I've always had a fondness for. The map, along with the piece, appeared in my series, "Urban Rambles." https://ericbrightwell.com/2014/11/13/urban-rambles-exploring-the-area-along-hoover-and-virgil/

The stretch of Rowena Avenue in Silver Lake (it continues into Los Feliz) is where I live and was formerly the home of my gentlemen's shop, Brightwell. Also included in this map are the streets of Ivanhoe (a district of Silver Lake) which are named after the Scottish novel of the same name. I made this map around 2014, I think.

Ivanhoe was a community located just north of Los Angeles, so named by Scottish-born Mexican Hugo Reid (although it was also known as "Ivanhoe Town." Reid died in 1852. Ivanhoe was surveyed and mapped in 1887. Many of the street names were taken from Sir Walter Scott's novel or simply referenced Scotland. Ivanhoe remained on most maps until the 1920s when it was largely subsumed into the 20th century community of Silver Lake.

The Mideast Side -- also known as "Mideast Los Angeles" and "MELA" -- is a region of Central Los Angeles (i.e. Hollywood, Downtown, Midtown, and the Mideast). It's the region of Los Angeles in which I live. I wrote a primer in 2011 and painted this version of the map, the third, a couple of years later. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/03/16/california-fools-gold-a-mideast-side-primer/
