Clearly, as you said, Sugar is squarely in Silver Lake, but I didn't actually say that Sugar was located in that 'hood- just that it will have a domino-effect-type role in gentrifying all things east. Located between Sunset Junction and the getting-to-be-yuppiefied Sunset strip of Echo Park, I think Sugar fully recognizes that, as a business bringing in the type of clientele that it does, it plays a huge part in moving the gentrification process eastward towards Echo Park. With an eye towards that role, it compensates (or tries to) by having its art shows, organizing fundraisers, etc. That's all.

Sorry, but as a long time Los Angeles resident, neighborhood geo-creep drives me nuts. Just one bone to pick: Sugar’s address puts it well within Silver Lake, not Echo Park.
