From Confluence to Atwater: Exploring Along San Fernando Road | Block by Block | Land of Sunshine | KCET →

The Los Angeles River is coming back! What will that mean for the riverside communities like Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, Glassell Park, and Atwater Village? I explored the ruins of the Santa Fe Railroad’s Taylor Yard — which is destined to become part of a large, riverside park — and the neighborhoods along a short section of the river’s eastbank.

East of the Eastside -- the Far Eastside at the Amoeblog →

Los Angeles County is home to several official (mostly Asian-American) ethnic enclaves. However, most of the Asian-American population resides in a group of communities in the San Gabriel Valley. East of the Eastside and in acknowledgement of the implications, I affectionately refer to them as “The Far Eastside.”
