Happy Birthday Echo Park

We celebrate Echo Park Lake's birthday of 110 years! Not bad at all, she still looks good!
The Echo Park Boathouse at 751 Echo Park Ave sits right at its edge. The lake itself has been open to the public since 1895! I remember when at one time(in the 60's) there were actually lil wooden boats with gas powered engines that would just putt around the lake with its red/green marine type marker lights. It was so much fun to ride these cool boats...
and not exactly like today where you really have to bust your butt to move around the lake! geez!
Excerise is good but this is pure uh.. sweat, so no relaxing enjoyable boatride for us, only for the kiddies! Yup, i've seen alot of changes and all for the better of the Lake and all who enjoy walking, fishing, biking or just jogging around it. The atmosphere is nice and the people i have occasionally met are nice. Anyway as i said, the lake, she is beautiful and all the ducks say Amen Brother! haha (they really quack me up!)
