En un día soleado y caluroso, Mayra, mi peluquera que he visitado tres veces consecutivos, describe un poco de su experiencia emigrando a, viviendo, y trabajando en Lincoln Heights. Habla a cerca de como la afecto el cambio en la economía, por que ya no vive en el vecindario pero sigue trabajando aquí.
