So I've decided to showcase what I consider some of the hidden gems of Los Angeles. And I couldn't think of a better person to explore with me than Kelli of Layers Los Angeles. Kelli is familiar with Echo Park Lake, but had never explored the area. I was thrilled to play tour guide as I had lived in the area for many years.
