I grew up here in Boyle Heights when we arrived as immigrants back in 1978. I lived on Malabar Street and attended Malabar Elementary, Belvedere and Stevenson Jr. HS, and Roosevelt HS. Class of 1992. Boyle Heights will ALWAYS be in my heart. Viva mi Raza!

Excellent documentary on Boyle Heights. The people, community and culture of Boyle Heights are the strength and beauty of this great neighborhood. Thanks Jose Huizar and the City of Los Angeles for upgrading and renovating the key assets of Boyle Heights. Our children deserve a healthy community without the negative portrayal of gangs and drugs. The focus on education and recreation will provide an everlasting foundation for our youths and adults. Thanks for the vision and foresight.

I lived at 113 1/2 S Soto, then moved next door to 119 S Soto. Went to Breed Street School, the Hollenbeck Junior High and Roosevelt High School. Spent summers at the Evergreen plunge.

I grew up in Boyle Heights I attended school at 2nd Street Elementary. During the late 60s an early 70s. I was part the Hollenbeck Police Department boxing team. I spent many hours with Captain Rudy Deleon. Was trained buy a great man officer Joseph Raymond Mayo. And officer Al stankiewicz. For years the team trained in the basement of the police station before moving on to the youth center I was there at the groundbreaking. I love that neighborhood and it helped me be the man that I am today a grandfather. Thank you Ray Al and captain Rudy Deleon.

My maternal great grandmother is buried there at the Evergreen Cemetery that those two men were passing by on Brooklyn Ave. She died from the Spanish flu in 1918 at a makeshift hospital at a elementary school in Chinatown. Across the street from the old French Hospital on Hill street

I would say this neighborhood is going to experience what many LA neighborhoods will experience in gentrification. To those who are living there, I say hold on and continue to stay strong within the community. The sad thing about gentrification is that much of the culture gets stripped out of the community along with its people. I have yet to visit this part of LA, and many others. It's very discouraging to me as I hear a lot LA is starting to look very "plastic" and "fake" from many. I welcome any long time LA resident to comment. When I first step foot in LA was back when I was just turning 8 and that song from Randy Newman came out, "I Love LA". lol Didn't really experience much other than Disneyland and LAX but was super excited to be there during that time.

I agree....I believe gentrification has its good and its bad....The good about it is that areas that were once dangerous becomes safer....The bad part is, one you said about areas losing its culture and also the rents increase a whole lot...As if the area doesnt have high rents to begin with

Memories. Attended Christopher Dena Elementary then went on to Stevenson Middle School and finally Roosevelt High (93-2003). Very poor education. Neighborhood wise, we lived in Estrada courts and most of the areas captured in this video were still unsafe. Haven't gone back since I left L.A. in 2014 and CA.

Like it was mentioned this is a historic neighborhood, but ( what I assume ) is a small population want to keep it the slum that it has become over time. They make it very difficult for anyone ( other then Hispanics) to come into the neighborhood either as residents, business owners, or both ( they claim their fighting against gentrification and yet no one calls it what it is " racism " ). That once diverse community is nothing but a slum and the worse part is residents with the loudest voices and strongest arms want it to stay that way

Boyle Heights is a ebbed community. If it was so diverse and they the politicians are trying to honor its past presently by bringing back old customs and times when they were good - WHERE ARE THE RUSSIANS just for example?? If a city or community was diverse at one point and now is predominantly one race and culture - you can't rectify what this video is in fact making as a pragmatic pretense a well rounded community. It's just a generic facade. Santa Ana is a better city to document. Way better
