L.A.'s Eastside: Where do you draw the line?

“ I drew this and then looked at the LA Times definition. Mine's sloppy, but we agree.

In sum: Just because Silver Lake area is East of Hollywood does not make it Eastside, unless maybe you're from the Westside, and those folks live way the heck too far away to drive East of the 405 anyway, so they don't get a vote.

"Points North" (Glassell Park, Hancock Park) are more closely associated with Silver Lake or Eagle Rock (people moved there because it's cheaper). Points north are also geographically different than the "Eastside" as defined.

Silver Lake, where I once lived, and Echo Park, Chinatown, etc. are clearly different than the "Eastside," and are more closely associated with DTLA, Hollywood, or Koreatown than the Eastside neighborhoods.

I don't think there's a debate about calling east of DTLA the Eastside, so that's that.
