Andrew Chavez
Spending holidays and summers at grandmother’s house. Lincoln Heights is a place where people still have deep roots, where parents attended schools still standing, shops and landmarks are still places that current resident stroll by, memories about being touched by social movements and boycotts, as well as changes dictating and shaping the neighborhood to as it stands today.

Listen to Andrew’s mother recollect a changing neighborhood and the time her mother lost her wedding ring.
Listen to Andrew’s father here.

El Huarache Azteca has been in the neighborhood for years, and for many still living in the neighborhood, despite whatever rating is posted in the window, is still a spot to go for delicious Mexican food. Tony and friends, no matter the time past and distance that separates them, remember it fondly but haven’t been back because of the changing times.
