  • From Boyle heights all the way to new jersy

  • @saxmidiman AND I GREW UP IN HUNTINGTON PARK!!!

  • 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 in Boyle Heights from 1970 to 1977 ( I attended Euclid Avenue School). I have good memories of living there. I wish you al the best!

  • To live and die in Boyle Heights<3

  • as a BH resident, it's nice to see the historic elements of this video (locally called bideo). What's problematic are: 1. the affirmation and celebration of non-public schools 2. the historic amnesia that the 70's were a time of greater militancy by communities of color across the country (where the popular narrative portrays it as one of high drug use and gang membership)....that militancy is what opened the door to people like Huizar.

    The music is kind of funny...it's very 1980s.

  • Great overview of the wonderful things happening in Boyle Heights! I was glad to see this and to learn more about what is happening in my own neighborhood!

  • 100% agree - education is the key the success of our community.
