SIGN THIS PETITION!!

Fans of the late Elliott Smith have organized a petition to have a section of Los Angeles’ Echo Park renamed in his honor. Smith, a resident of the Echo Park district, was noted for his charitable works in the community, including a non-profit charity for abused children. “Elliott Smith endeared himself to fans and supporters through his modesty, passion, honesty, writing songs that touched the hearts and souls of those who heard them,” reads the petition. Those signing are asking for a section of Echo Park to be renamed, that an area be developed for a memorial, and that signage be change to reflect the tribute.
