As many of you have heard by now, Marc Abrams (known to most as Silver Lake’s Walking Man) passed away earlier this week. To honor the man who became such a fixture in Silverlake, a few locals have decided to organize a memorial walk in his honor, beginning this Sunday at noon. The walk will meet at the grassy field next to the Silver Lake Recreation Center, near where he began his daily walks, then follow his usual route.
The Silver Lake Recreation Center is located at 1850 W. Silver Lake Dr. 90026.
In 2004, Abrams outlined his route in an interview:
“I usually loop around the lake, and then go down West Silverlake to Rowena, and then Hyperion, and then Griffith Park Blvd. down Sunset, back down Silverlake to the reservoir, and then back and loop around the lake again. So it’s about 15 miles altogether.”
All are welcome to join. Details below:
What: Memorial Walk to Honor Marc Abrams
When: Sunday, July 25 at noon
Where: The grassy field next to the Silver Lake Recreation Center, right at the edge of the Silver Lake Dog Park – a much better place to congregate as numbers arrive. The Silver Lake Recreation Center is located at 1850 W. Silver Lake Dr. 90026.
Pour on the sunblock, don your short shorts, bring along a folded New York Times and just walk – that’s what he would have done.
