Walk through the history with members of Echo Park Historical Society and the Museum of Neon Art. We’ll spend an hour traversing Echo Park and reflecting on the neon and architecture of this important community. We’ll even pass by the now 100-year-old Jensen’s Recreation Center, featured in the Community Beacons guide on Bloomberg Connects.

Evangelism, Electric Signs, and Early Hollywood come to light on this mile and half walk. Get a behind the bulb history of Echo Park's signage with neon experts and the preservationists who have helped to preserve this unique LA neighborhood.
