Young People


At a party last week I was talking to this "kid". I had almost forgotten that 25-year-olds in L.A. still consider themselves kids. And he asked me how Echo Park had changed in the eight years I've been living there. Well, I said, in some ways it has changed for the better. There are tons of great restaurants, boutiques, cool stores... but it has also changed for the worse. How so? said the kid. Well, I said, it has attracted the kind of people we've always been trying to get away from. What kind of people? he said? Young people?
