I have been seeking an apartment for a few weeks, trying to stay in the Logan Square area, and made some interesting observations around my neighborhood, and in general.
Here they are:

2444 N Talman Belongs In Venice Beach.

Seriously. This sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s interesting enough, but … there’s a place for this kind of weirdness. It’s called LA.

Logan Square Has Tons Of Neighborhood / Residential Churches
Walk down many of Logan Square’s side streets and you’ll find churches nestled next to greystones and houses. Some streets / blocks have multiple. It’s actually a really unique quality I haven’t seen in any other city.




Oddly enough, this one is for sale. It would be cool to buy a church and renovate it into a home.

I Appreciate The Unique Aspects Of Buildings Around Here
Considering most of the houses in this neighborhood are older (”turn of the century” 3 flats) and we haven’t yet been invaded by the creep of condos from the east and south (too badly anyway…), there are still plenty of little individual aspects to make the “same” building different in some way. I loved the way the street number was painted on this window.

I hope everyone out there takes the opportunity to appreciate and explore their own neighborhoods a little more. There’s nothing cooler than finding something really inspiring that’s just a bit off the beaten track.
