Echo Park
The day the Three Stooges barreled through Echo Park
Friday, September 19, 2008
The intersection of Echo Park, Delta and Morton avenues (aka
Chicken Corner) is today best known as a hipster hot spot, where the young and bearded hold court outside the
Chango Coffee House. But in 1935, there was not a soul patch in sight when beer barrels, traffic cops and cars came together in the very same intersection during the climax of a Three Stooges chase in the film short “The Three Little Beers.” If you want to see more neighborhood scenes go to the
full film and fast forward to the last 2 minutes of the film. (Look for the store front Ex-Lax sign where you can now buy a soy latte). Thanks to Larry, Moe & Curly.
