Echo Park Historical Society Quarterly Meeting & Pizza Fundraiser

The Echo Park Historical Society will gather at Mohawk Bend on Tuesday
night, August 6, for a presentation on the Washington Heights tract, the
neighborhood that sits on the western end of Echo Park just west of
Glendale Boulevard. Researcher and stalwart volunteer Rory Mitchell will
give the presentation, which will also serve as the EPHS’ quarterly
meeting.
Mitchell will discuss not only
Washington Heights but the Sunset Boulevard commercial district, the
Jensen’s Recreation Center sign and the Ramona Theater, which now houses
Mohawk Bend.

The event runs from 6 to 8 p.m.
at Mohawk Bend, 2141 Sunset Blvd, located between Alvarado and Mohawk
Street. The meeting coincides with the Mohawk Bend fundraiser “Piece of the Pie,” a promotion to benefit the EPHS during the month of August.

Each
month Mohawk Bend creates a custom pizza and contributes a portion of
the sales to a particular cause. In August, Mohawk Bend will offer the
Historical Ramona pizza topped with cherry tomatoes, parmesan, red
onion, rapine, cerignola olives and rapini. Anyone who orders this pizza will help support EPHS!
