More on Sunset in Silver Lake

Opposite the huge exposed wall in the old Silver Lake community garden is a more hidden, smaller wall with some very nice work on it. You may have to jump a fence to see it, or cross the small wall behind el Pollo Loco, but it's worth it.

Community Farm on Sunset in Silver Lake

by Mark Mauer
September 4, 2007 9:40 AM

For the past several years the empty lot near el Pollo Loco on Sunset and Sanborn has been a little community farm growing flowers, tomatoes and vegetables. Now it's empty and there's a for sale sign on it. But in the past few weeks one entire wall got an amazing re-design.
