LIFE IN THE CANYON

Once sacred land to the Tongva natives and a watershed resource for the city’s farms, orchards and pastoral grazing, the neighborhood has always been a space of silence and spiritual serenity. Early development and interest as an escape spurned by silent-film luminaries served as fertile ground for these mountains to sprout its early folk roots, growing with and co-habitating among wild flora and fauna. Over time, these foundations blossomed into the Bohemian enclave whose spirit still casts a warm sense of community and camaraderie over the Canyon today.

Our environmental surroundings influence us as much as the thoughts we dwell on, the foods we nourish ourselves with and the social circles we partake in.
