Eagle Rock City Hall
Eagle Rock, California
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
The entire neighborhood has been experiencing gentrification for the last few years as young urban professionals, finding themselves priced out of Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park, have found affordable housing there. Eagle Rock is inhabited by a wide variety of ethnicities and socioeconomic groups, but it is best known as an eclectic gathering of hipsters and the creative class. Recently, there's been a noticable influx presence of LGBT people. Eagle Rock is known for its bohemian vibe, mix of class levels, and neighborhood feel.
A core of counter-culture writers, artists and filmmakers has existed in the town since the 1920s and is being supplemented by the recent influx of hipsters. The town was well known during the late '50s, '60s and '70s for its sizable hot rodder culture, which is now almost defunct.
Eagle Rock is the site of Occidental College, designed by famed architect Myron Hunt and built in 1914.
Eagle Rock is home to many historic and achitecturally significant homes, many done in the Craftsman, Georgian, Streamline Moderne, Art Deco and Spanish/Mission style.

Water Forms Sculpture at Occidental College
Occidental College
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
In 1962, Time Magazine described Occidental as a little giant in a story about the college's rise to national prominence. Indeed, this moniker was characteristic of the college's growth.
During the late 1960s, a strong anti-war sentiment made its presence felt at Occidental. The students' activism was characteristic of a rise of liberalism across campus. In 1969, the school opened its first two co-ed dormitories, and two more followed a year later. On May 6, 1970, the faculty voted to suspend classes in the wake of the Kent State shootings and America's invasion of Cambodia. Subsequently, Oxy students wrote 7,000 letters to Washington D.C., protesting U.S. involvement in the war in Southeast Asia.
In 1979, Occidental installed Water Forms II, a kinetic fountain designed by professor George Baker. The fountain is a campus landmark and was featured prominently in the 1984 film "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock." During the 1984 Olympic Games, some track events were held at Occidental's Patterson Field. By 1986, for the first time since World War II, women students outnumbered men. Today, the college is approximately 60 percent female and 40 percent male; roughly equivalent to the national average. On July 1, 2006, Susan Prager became Occidental's first female president. She then left her position in 2007 during the fall term. On January 30, 2009, it was announced that Jonathan Veitch, formerly dean of of Eugene Lang College, would become Occidental's 15th president beginning in the summer of 2009.
