Father Tomas Carey
Church of the Epiphany
Another chance to meet up with Fr. Tomas, between introducing me to parishioners and telling me about the historical significance, Father Tomas Carey also shares where he sees himself within the community and and what is needed at the Policy level for Lincoln Heights to maintain its flavor. We talk historical monuments and the erasure of them from the city. How does this attribute to some of the disappearance of neighborhood history?

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.
