Eye on L.A. visits Eagle Rock -- a quaint neighborhood situated in northeast Los Angeles, between Glendale and Pasadena. It's known for being a tight-knit and family-friendly community and its residents say it's one of few areas in L.A. that still has that small town charm. In recent years, the area has undergone a revitalization of sorts, with new businesses and restaurants opening their doors.

AN ACTOR'S RETREAT
