HIdden Monument

I came across a very special monument a few months ago in Echo Park, and I wanted to post about it. I never got back to snap a photo, and now, Dateline>City of Angels has done it for us all.

Check out the post here that describes the precarious location of this memborable monument - best viewed via car when stuck in morning traffic as one tries to exit the 2 onto Glendale Boulevard. You can note by reading the plaque (or viewing the post by Ed here) that it was erected (two blocks from the actual studio) in conjunction with the 1954 episode of This is Your Life featuring Mack Sennet, for whom the obelisk was installed.

This marker brings back the spirit of the random markers that dot our City, like my true favorites: these four.
