![]() ![]() Silver Lake's Most Visited Community Website The Annual "Kites Over Silver Lake Festival" returned to Silver Lake last Saturday, June 20, 2009; although there was insufficient wind for kite-flying, participants enjoyed a full day of family fun and activities including live entertainment and a children's art exhibit. The celebration was held at Silver Lake's Bellevue Recreation Center beginning at noon. For event photos, please visit "Neighborhood Pictures: Kites Over Silver Lake". "Have you visited the "Treasures of Los Angeles Architecture" page lately? Our collection of stories and photos of the iconic architecture of our great city grows each month! Check out our "new treasures" here! Pictured is the C.E. Kustor Residence, designed by John Parkinson, the Architect who "built Los Angeles", in 1904. The historic home is located in the Adams-Normandie HPOZ, and is one of the most recent entries in "Treasures of Los Angeles Architecture." Silver Lake's latest installation of "ART CANS" are in! Sponsored by the Beautification Committee of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council, the concrete trash cans are inlaid with mosaic art panels designed by local artists. The third phase of installations can be seen along Silver Lake's commercial corridors, including in front of Monkey House Toys, Modem Salon, Silver Lake Dog Park, and Precision Motors on Silver Lake Blvd., and Trader Joe's and Pizza Hut on Hyperion Avenue. Highlighting the current installation, Pottery and Mosaic Artist Julie Hunter Bagish was on hand along with William Crite III; Julie created an art can honoring fellow artist, William Crite II who passed away earlier this year. William Crite's last art can installation is in front of Le Quipe Salon on Silver Lake Blvd.; the art can honoring Crite is located across the street in front of Modem Salon. Surrounding Artist Julie Bagish in the photo are (L-R): husband Marty Bagish, Art Cans Coordinator Laura Dwan, Julie, Project Manager Noah Stein, William Crite III (leaning), Akira Kondo (visiting the Bagish family from Japan) and installer Joe Bermudez, in front of Monkey House Toys, June 14, 2009).
