Eagle Rock Downtown Walking Tour | 4K

Fulfilling its role as an "east side" neighborhood, Eagle Rock is rapidly making a name for itself as one of the trendiest neighborhoods of Los Angeles. The neighborhood is named after a large boulder "Eagle Rock" which casts a shadow in the shape of an eagle. I took a stroll along Colorado Blvd. and the backdrop of luscious, green hills really stood out like I'd never seen before due to all the recent rain. I'm here for it. This is a beautiful area of the city to check out if you want a good bite without all the chaos of Echo Park. Also, hit up Colorado Donuts!

In 1973, I worked at KFC on Eagle Rock Blvd where Savon Drug Store and Mayfair Market were. At the end of the night, at closing, me and my friend John would take the chicken that didn't sell(and we was supposed to throw away) to Tommy Burgers and trade it for a sack of delicious fresh cooked chili cheese burgers. We were sick of eating chicken and them sick of burgers. It worked perfectly. I was 16. So Jim's Burger is now the Oinkster. Time marches on! It also flies like an arrow, too. I also worked at Pete's Blue Chip for about a month in 1983.
Eagle Rock has changed, but yet it hasn't. I recall that Cindy's Restaurant would light up at night so brightly that it seemed like a UFO was landing. I think everything looks smaller to me now. Maine" says "hello" and thanks for taking me along with you. I grew up on both (Little)Saginaw, near Wiota and later Westdale Ave, right across the street from Oxy. Back then we thought me and my friends owned Eagle Rock all to ourselves because we hung out at so many spots. I have so many Eagle Rock stories still locked inside of me, too.

@@MatthiasJurisch John was my best friend back then. He lived next door and later had gotten me my job working there at KFC. We both were prep cooks. Susan("Susy") was his older cousin or aunt maybe. She'd go to Mayfair Market and get us a six-pack o9f San Miguel and keep it in the walkin cooler for when me and John got off work. Then we'd walk to Yosemite Park and drink it while singing Beatle songs and smoking whatever we had at the time. John passed away in 2007. I never learned how he died. We got lots of stories we could have shared. And sticking our arms into a garbage can 2/3 full of cold shredded cabbage, carrots and sauce was the worse part of the whole job by the way. I'd rather scrub those pressure cookers than make that Cole slaw.

@@MatthiasJurisch I was working there when Col Sanders had came in drunk, then thrown mash potatoes on the floor and had tried to get the new young black girl Susy had just hired to eat them. He said that the floors were supposed to be clean enough to eat off of. I got to work just after he had left though. The girl was still crying and said she wanted to quit. I comforted her and talked her out of leaving. She said her family needed the money and if she quit they would be sad. She quit a few days later anyways. I don't recall ever smoking or drinking with John when Susy wasn't there. They introduced BBQ ribs when I was working there. I was only 16. I also worked with John at a rotogravure pressroom in No. Hollywood. His father worked there. Now that was a crazy job!
