About Boyle Heights

Standing at the intersection of Boyle and 1st, one gets the feeling that Boyle Heights owns Los Angeles. The city spreads below its feet, giving this neighborhood an air of control and command over the city. And in some ways, it has (or does). Like no other place, the streets of Boyle Heights contain traces of LA's fractured, contradictory and promising history. Take a walk down 1st Street and find out for yourself.

While this is an interesting article, there are MANY other cultural diversities in Los Angeles. Why is the Hispanic community the only one featured???

Departures: Boyle Heights is the first in a series. We are currently working on two other installments, one in Watts, the other one in Little Armenia.

Thanks for an interesting and respectful portrait of the people and places of the neighborhood I was born in. However, considering the demographics of Los Angeles and contrary to the first commenter`s opinion, even more coverage to the Chicano/Mexicano communities in LA would be appropriate and just.
