East Los Tapestries

The Eastside is a region of Los Angeles County. It includes the communities of Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles, El Sereno, Lincoln Heights -- as well as numerous smaller communities like Belvedere, Brooklyn Heights, City Terrace, Eastmont, Happy Valley, Hillside Village, Maravilla, Rose Hill, and University Hills. I wrote a primer, for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2011. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/03/30/california-fools-gold-an-eastside-primer/

I undertook a ramble along and around a section of Hoover and Virgil streets in Los Angeles that I've always had a fondness for. The map, along with the piece, appeared in my series, "Urban Rambles." https://ericbrightwell.com/2014/11/13/urban-rambles-exploring-the-area-along-hoover-and-virgil/

East Pasadena is a small, unincorporated community to the east of Pasadena -- which is slowly nibbling away at its edges. To be honest, it's not known for a whole lot and more folks use "East Pasadena" to refer to the eastern neighborhoods of Pasadena than they do this tiny community, which I explored for "California Fool's Gold" in 2013. https://ericbrightwell.com/2013/07/25/to-see-my-home-in-east-pasadena/

Chico and the Man is an American sitcom series that aired for four seasons from September 13, 1974, to July 21, 1978. It starred Jack Albertson as Ed Brown (the Man), the cantankerous owner of a run-down garage in an East Los Angeles barrio, and Freddie Prinze (until Prinze's suicide in the third season) as Chico Rodriguez, an upbeat, optimistic young Chicano who comes in looking for a job. It was the first U.S. television series set in a Mexican-American neighborhood. The show's synopsis went something like this: A hard-drinking Anglo widower, Ed stubbornly refuses to fit in with the changing East L.A. neighborhood and has alienated most of the people who live around him, but after hiring Chico, things start to turn around for Ed's garage.

City Terrace is a small neighborhood on Los Angeles's Eastside. In 2013, I explored it, with a dog named Dooley, for a piece that appeared in my series, "California Fool's Gold." https://ericbrightwell.com/2013/12/24/been-up-to-city-terrace-to-see-whats-a-happening-exploring-city-terrace/
