The Villaraigosa Factor: East LA Pride

As many of you know, my hometown has recently elected its first Latino mayor in over 100 years. For those that don't know, Los Angeles is the 2nd city with the most Mexicans after Mexico City!

Antonio Villaraigosa is now on the cover of Newsweek and some of the articles are quite impressive.

The first picture is of the famous corner of Avenida Cesar Chavez (previously known as Brooklyn Avenue) and Soto Street in the heart of East Los Angeles. I grew up one block away from this street corner on Cincinnati Street! Importantly, once I turned 4 my family relocated to City Terrace where my parents purchased their 1st home on Van Pelt Avenue.

Enjoy.
