Photo Op: Just Another Neon Night

My amateur quest for interesting neon scenes recently led me to Echo Park’s House of Spirits liquor store. Always hopping on weekends, the thriving business caters to an extremely “eclectic” crowd ranging from the area’s Old Guard to retro-hipsters, gentrifiers and prerequisite vagrants. Yet despite its unruly appearance and traffic patterns, the store is surprisingly clean, safe and friendly. (A uniformed security guy helps see to that.) More ‘hoods should be so lucky as to have a quickie-booze stop like this.
