 Hello and welcome to eaglerocknews, Eagle Rock’s interactive neighborhood web site and information pipeline. My name is Keith Louie and I am a 15-year Eagle Rock resident and Realtor with Nourmand & Associates. I am also on the Board of Directors of an organization called TERA (The Eagle Rock Association), that seeks to improve the quality of life in Eagle Rock through beautification, land-use and planning oversight, and preservation of our community's historic flavor. My wife Agnes and I love living in Eagle Rock with our daughter Alexis because we love the character of the neighborhood, easy access, and friendly atmosphere.
As TERA's Public Meetings/Events Chairperson I organize TERA's public meetings, which are designed to educate and inform attendees about issues affecting Eagle Rock. Please call me for more information at (323) 828-1425.
SAVE THE DATE!!! Don't miss the Ribbon Cutting of the Wiota Circle Monument on Saturday, June 6th!
SAVE THE DATE!!! Don't miss the Artist's Reception for the Eagle Rock Make Art Not Trash program on Saturday, June 13th! The Eagle Rock Make Art Not Trash program officially begins with an opening reception for the artists, community groups, businesses and the general public on Saturday, June 13 from 4 pm to 6 pm at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, at 2225 Colorado Blvd, Eagle Rock, CA 90041. Self-guided tours of the cans will follow. An online map showing the trash can locations is at: http://tiny.cc/8UvR2
The project consists of 20 modern concrete trash receptacles placed on sidewalks along Eagle Rock and Colorado Boulevards, and on a portion of North Figueroa Street. Each trash receptacle will feature four large custom ceramic panels, created mainly by local Northeast Los Angeles artists, featuring scenes that reflect the community.
Seventeen artists were commissioned to design and create unique ceramic mosaic panels for each can, celebrating the culture, traditions, history and geography of Eagle Rock. The styles of the panels are eclectic, ranging from folk art to contemporary design. Each of the trash receptacles is sponsored, on an ongoing basis, by a local business that has pledged to regularly empty and maintain it.
The Eagle Rock Association's (TERA) Beautification Committee included representatives from the Arroyo Arts Collective and The Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock. Funding for the Eagle Rock Make Art Not Trash Program was made possible through The Eagle Rock Association (TERA), The Community Beautification Matching Grant of the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Eagle Rock Community Preservation and Revitalization (ERCPR), Eagle Rock Chamber of Commerce (ERCC), Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council (ERNC), and the Eagle Rock Kiwanis Club. Selected tiles graciously donated by Dal-Tile.
I created this web site for everyone to use and enjoy and to provide another service to the community. The web address eaglerocknews.com was selected to reflect the name of our neighborhood and to make it easy to remember and identify with. Eaglerocknews can be used at your discretion and can be a venue for a resident directory and other general information.
For instance, you can place a classified ad for an item you want to sell, share a favorite recipe, or post information on upcoming events such as a yard sale. You can even post pictures of local events! The “Hobbies & Interests” section is also a great way to meet others who share common interests with you.
Please take the time to look through the site, and if you have comments or suggestions on how I may improve it, please contact me, Keith Louie. Please “bookmark” the site to make it easy to return to it often. It is my hope and desire that this web site becomes the message board of the Eagle Rock community.
I hope you enjoy eaglerocknews, and visit and use it often. And, if I may ever be of assistance, please contact me at (323) 828-1425.
