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.

“I think that’s what we want to see here…”

Is Highland Park something that we want to see happen in Lincoln Heights? Fight for your rights and where to start. Vera talks about changes she sees as positive that would help Lincoln Heights, growing up, what it was like in La Cañada and coming back to Lincoln Heights.

On another occasion, over a snack, I was able to pick Vera’s memory about the businesses in Lincoln Heights and how many have roots in the neighborhood or give back in somewhat to the neighborhood they conduct their business in.
