826LA & The Echo Park Time Travel Mart

Ken Capelli

It's another charming themed 826 shop, this time made to look like a convenience mart but with cheeky time-travel related goods and gift items. The area has some good vintage/ thrift shops one the street plus good local eateries, bars, and coffee shops. Parking lot out back!

This is a must visit place in Los Angeles. Every item is geared toward a time traveling clientele . All the merchandise is cleverly funny and would make an interesting gift for a friend, family member or yourself. And the bonus is that you will also be helping to educate children. The store is actually a facade for 826LA which is a non-profit that has free programs to help students improve their writing skills. They also publish some of the students work and sell it in the store. I once bought the most hilarious small book there written by the students. I always bring out of town guests there and look for gifts there when I need one. My favorite thing they have there are the donuts, "Fresh in 1985."

Such a wonderful little gem. Staff is helpful and patient, and you can often fine yourself there looking over everything for 20+ minutes. There are so many items with each their own little gimmick. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff is highly priced, and I escaped myself with just a sticker. Anyhow, I highly recommend you drop by even for just a look! You'll be amazed at what you find.
