Street Scenes: Leimert Park

The LA Times has an innovative new series of multi-media on different barrios, neighborhoods, and regions of LA. The project is called street scenes and so far has chronicled roughly nine different parts of the greater LA region. One that I am particularly fond of is Leimert Park, a historically Black neighborhood located at the cross road of mid-city and South LA. Other neighborhoods include the sometimes forgotten Temple City, the infamous East LA (now undergoing another attempt at cityhood), and the King of the I.E., Riverside.
