wish I knew about the culture growing up so close to there in sfs. I would’ve spent much more time in LA. My dad is from east LA and met my mom when she got here from Mexico at 18 y.o. Living in the IE now but this makes me miss living closer to LA. (I’m only 20)
To many mojados f-up our communities, don’t believe me take a ride down to any city in LA with, an overwhelming ilegal prénsense. East LA is one of the city’s ! Por que why?
I grew up in Montebello in the 1980's and I remember Cronis the hot dog (1' 47 " in the video) stand being better than arry's burger. But not by much. Actually Arry's had better pastrami. But Cronis chilli dogs were amazing.
Cool music. Was looking for my dad's hardware store 3828 E. Whittier Blvd. by Salazar (Laguna) Park. Video does not go that far west on the Blvd. but still cool video!
Wow, La National, La Popular, Johnson's market, boulevard theater, Alameda theater, golden gate theater, pacific national bank, musical latina, silver dollar. I miss the old days. It's all gone.
Glad you no longer are because they are a cancer to Boyle Heights. If only they would be wiped out, this could be an amazing neighborhood. But they are a dealbreaker and because of them it remains a place you live in only because you can't afford to move out.
