Do You Live Under a Rock?


The editors (if you can call them that) of Yelp.com are jealous dweebs. Their latest newsletter starts with "Unless you've been hiding under a rock (or in Eagle Rock), you've probably heard the buzz that..." I don't live in Eagle Rock but pretty close to it, and while it has a certain mainstream blandness, it's still better than the fascist hell hole Silver Lake has become and the hipper-than-thou Echo Park, with its million dollars home, large homeless population and nouveau riche hipsters. The editors of Yelp.com probably live in Silver Lake, get their coffee at Intelligentsia and read Perez. Or worse, they live in Hollywood and watch "The Hills." As everyone knows, Mt. Washington is where the new and old artist elite and true intelligentsia are residing. There, or in Highland Park. Both are pretty close to Eagle Rock.
