This self-drive tour through Los Angeles' East Side substitutes hills for beaches and hipster enclaves for coastal fog. This isn't a part of L.A. that many tourists get to see. Silver Lake, Eagle Rock and Glassell Park unroll their peacefully leafy streets for anyone who dares to stop by. Self-drive or carpooling means you can set your own tour pace - perfect for a sunny Saturday.

I really enjoyed the Eastside Homes, was happy to learn such homes exist in that area of L.A. I'd like to suggest that next year (for those that don't have GPS), an overall map of the featured homes could be provided then one has reference points and proximity to the freeways etc.. That would have been helpful. Thank goodness I had my Thomas Guide.
