  Silver Lake is a relatively diverse and thriving artistic community in Los Angeles. It is located east of Hollywood and east of Los Feliz, two other eclectic Los Angeles communities. Silver Lake is named after the man-made reservoir which sits behind a fence in the center of the enclave. The reservoir is named after Herman Silver, a member of the first Board of Water Commissioners of The City of Los Angeles. Today it provides drinking water for communities in South LA, but I've heard rumors that it will be decommissioned soon and used soley as a recreation area.
