Echo Park Cards
Description: 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/

Description: Burrito King was a longtime Southern California fast-food chain that became a familiar sight across Los Angeles, beginning with a single walk-up stand at Sunset and Alvarado in Echo Park that opened in 1968. Known for serving hearty burritos, tacos, combination plates, and late-night Mexican comfort food at affordable prices, the restaurants developed a loyal following among students, shift workers, and anyone craving a quick meal after hours. With their distinctive red-and-yellow signage and no-frills atmosphere, Burrito King locations became neighborhood landmarks throughout much of L.A., though increased competition from national chains saw Burrito Kings fall by the wayside until there was just the one original location left.

Description: I painted this map of Elysian Heights for a show I called "Taste of the Mideast Side" in which I exhibited maps of various neighborhoods in the Mideast Los Angeles region. The gray cat in the compass rose is "Room 8" -- an internet celebrity cat who was world-famous before there was an internet.
