The couple did not explain what prompted the upcoming closure. The bookstore at 3433 N. Broadway was founded to showcase local stories, authors and artists<\/a>, carried books in several languages and hosted works by Lincoln Heights writers. The public was invited to the shop on September 30 “as we sunset” the business, according to an Instagram post. \u201cThank you, Lincoln Heights,\u201d the couple wrote. \u201cIt was an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n Flea market finds a home<\/p>\n
Los Feliz–The Silverlake Flea is on the move, again. The flea market was founded nearly 20 years ago in Silver Lake before it moved in 2019 to the Taix restaurant parking lot in Echo Park. Last April, the marketplace decamped for a new home<\/a> in an industrial section of Atwater Village after construction work began on a new residential and commercial development on the Taix property. Now, less than six months after its last move, the Silverlake Flea announced on Instagram<\/a> it has jumped to yet another new home at 1900 N. Vermont Avenue in Los Feliz. No reason was given for the move. Will the Silverlake Flea ever return to Silver Lake? Stay tuned.<\/p>\n ICYMI<\/p>\n Eagle Rock\u2014The Burbank\/Toluca Lake bakery, Lou The French On The Block<\/a>, is expanding with a new store at 1565 Colorado Blvd., the former home of Eagle Rock Juice Co.

French baker Laurent Lou Correa came to Los Angeles in 2012 and made pastries for the French of Les LILA for two years.
