Where exactly are we?
LRH Way is in East Hollywood.
East Hollywood's boundaries are Hollywood Blvd to the north, Sunset Blvd and Hoover St to the east, The Hollywood (101) Freeway to the south and Western Ave to the west.
Los Feliz is over to the north and east "Los Feliz is a neighborhood in the north-central region of the city of Los Angeles, California. It lies north of East Hollywood and just south of the Santa Monica Mountains, at its feet, between the neighborhoods of Hollywood, Silver Lake and Echo Park. It is home to Griffith Park and Griffith Observatory along with the Greek Theatre. The area is generally considered to be bordered by Hollywood Boulevard on the south, Hyperion Avenue on the southeast, Griffith Park on the north, the Los Angeles River on the east, and Western Avenue on the west. It is traversed by Los Feliz Boulevard, which separates the wealthy upper class section, located in the hills north of "The Boulevard" (as the natives call it), and the more upper-middle and middle class abodes to the south. It is considered to be at the border between the Westside and the rest of L.A." (from Wikipedia)
Silver Lake is south and east of Los Feliz: "Silver Lake is bordered by Elysian Heights to the east, Echo Park to the southeast, Atwater Village to the north, Historic Filipinotown to the south, East Hollywood to the west and Los Feliz to the northwest." (more from Wikipedia)

Reading Material
Skylight Books is an independent bookstore at 1818 N Vermont Ave. Interesting little store to browse. There's some kind of theater next to it in a little alley but I'm not sure what that's about.
Just south of the store is a newsstand with a good selection of newspapers and magazines.

Fern Dell Canyon
I was so happy to find this trail.Green, water and the higher you go, the drier it gets. The top for us was just under the Observatory.
We took the Hollywood Dash west on Franklin to Oxford. North to Fern Dell Drive. Veer right once you get into the green and follow the trail. It's about 2.5 miles round trip.
Union Station
Amtrak is my preferred means of transportation to LA so my trips end and begin at this station. This picture doesn't do it justice. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and usually find something new each time I go through. There's a great little bagel stand called, "Bialys" inside where I grab my evening meal for the train. The Greek salads are delicious but make sure they hand you the right one. The courtyards are gorgeous with flowers even in the winter. A Metro Station shares the station, so it's a short $1.25 subway ride to Sunset/Vermont if you feel up to it. Rental cars available, too. And Olvera Street is a few minutes walk away.
