Everything about Little Armenia Los Angeles California totally explained
Little Armenia is a community that's part of the
Hollywood district of
Los Angeles, California. The area is served by the
Metro Red Line at the Hollywood/Western station.
Little Armenia is defined by the
Los Angeles City Council as "the area bounded on the north by Hollywood Blvd between the 101 Freeway and Vermont Ave, on the east by
Vermont Avenue from
Hollywood Blvd to
Santa Monica Blvd, on the south by Santa Monica Blvd between Vermont Ave and the
101 Freeway and on the west by the 101 Freeway from Santa Monica Blvd to Hollywood Blvd". (Adopted on
6 October 2000.) It also overlaps substantially with
Thai Town.
Its name comes from the large number of
Armenian-Americans that live in the area and also from the large number of
Armenian stores and businesses that had already opened in the neighborhood by the early 1970s.
St. Garabed
Armenian Apostolic Church is an Armenian church that's located inside Little Armenia. St. Garabed church is the place of prayer for the vast majority of Armenians living in Hollywood. It is located on Alexandria Avenue and it was built in 1978. The church is located front of the
Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School. Little Armenia's only public park is
Barnsdall Art Park, which includes the
Frank Lloyd Wright designed
Hollyhock House and a city-run arts center built in 1919-1921. The park, located on small but scenic Olive Hill, was donated to the city of Los Angeles by oil heiress Aline Barnsdall.
One of the major event that occurs in "Little Armenia" is every year on
April 24,
Armenians gather in Hollywood to take part in a protest for the recognition of
Armenian Genocide.
Today, in spite of some streets in the neighborhood showing signs of neglect, there are some streets that together form pockets of decently-kept middle class homes. Due to the high real estate prices in Los Angeles in general, much of Little Armenia and East Hollywood still have home prices higher than in other parts of the city and much of Los Angeles County, although it may not appear so at first glance.
Many of the novels, short stories and poems of
Charles Bukowski, a native of East Hollywood, are set in the area.
