Boyle Heights. Two simple words. But oh so much more. A community. A collection of homes, panaderias, carnicerias, schools, liquor stores, stray dogs and cats, parks, carcanchas, paleteros, loud music, taco trucks, and of course, mi gente.
Today I announce the birth of “My Heart. My Soul. My Life. Boyle Heights.” A blog about mi barrio, my hometown, my neighborhood. But mostly about how Boyle Heights is more than just where I’m from—Boyle Heights has come to define who I am.

Along the way I'll share esto y el otro with you. I invite you to join me and visit often.
So take a ride down Evergreen Avenue with me. We can stop by Jato’s and enjoy some fresh mariscos. Or we can just chill at Hollenbeck Park, talk, and explore this mystery we call life. Either way, I am honored and blessed to share this Boyle Heights life with you.
Peace.

I agree that it is a special place. I attended Evergreen Elementary then Belvedere Junior High.Our family still has property on Fairmount St. and we were all raised in the Assumption parish.
Happy New Year !!
