LA Weekly Teases LA Times For "Anachronistic" Echo Park Coverage

An article in Friday’s LA Times about the gentrification of Echo Park struck some of us as a wee bit tone deaf. It struck LA Weekly music editor (and Los Feliz resident) Gustavo Turner as “an epically LULZy article that seems to come from a different dimension where aliens from an unknown galaxy (Sherman Oaks?) have landed in Echo Park with a guidebook from 1978 warning them about cholo-on-cholo crime, but are chuffed that the neighborhood is really a haven for whites who enjoy mixologists and other Stuff White People Like.”
