Furniture store has a front seat on Echo Park's transformation
Established in the 1940s as Stone Bros. with a heavily Jewish clientele, La Popular is seeing its Latino customers give way to actors and college students.
By Esmeralda Bermudez
November 8, 2009
There are two ways to read the giant neon sign in front of Neil Stone's Echo Park furniture store. And either way is fine with him, so long as it draws attention.
Spanish speakers see the letters and read La Popular and expect well-made, no-frills bargains from a store that is part of a Southern California franchise that is familiar among Latinos.
English speakers read L.A. Popular and might be drawn inside by boutique-like pieces at budget prices.
Such are the hopes of Stone, the third-generation owner of La Popular, a 60-year-old, family-operated furniture store that depends on finding a way to reconcile the old Echo Park with the emerging neighborhood.
From Sunset Boulevard and Alvarado Street, Stone and his family have long had a storefront view on the swiftly changing demographics that have transformed so many Los Angeles neighborhoods. They have realized over the decades that success is linked to how well they know their neighbors.
In the 1940s, his grandfather Stanley launched the Echo Park outlet known as Stone Bros. and catered to a heavily Jewish clientele.
When his father took over in the 1970s, Latinos had begun to pour into store, shopping for coffee tables and television sets. The trend carried on a decade later when Neil Stone stepped in. He dropped the Stone Bros. name and adopted La Popular, The Popular One in Spanish.
Today, Stone is adjusting for a third round of change: gentrification and the rising rents, new construction and new money it has brought to Echo Park. Already, American Apparel, Starbucks, a wine bar, a vegan restaurant and several coffee shops have arrived on his block. Soon, live theater may open.
In the last 14 years, Jose Sigala has seen the neighborhood go from mostly Latino families to younger, hipper singles. The change is reflected in schools, property values and in local stores, said Sigala, the president of the Greater Echo Park Elysian Neighborhood Council.
"The biggest indication of the demographic change can be seen along Sunset and Echo Park, where businesses have been catering to the newly established clientele," he said.
For the Stones, each new wave has come with universal needs: beds, couches and dining room tables.
