Boyle Heights, East LA Song


A video we shot around town on a digital camera. www.trapbyall.com OFFICIAL SITE Taken from Wikipedia Originally owned by the early LA Boyle-Workman family, the district was subdivided in 1875 and named after Andrew Boyle. Traditionally one of the most heterogeneous neighborhoods in the city, it was a center of Jewish, Mexican and Japanese immigrant life in the early 20th century, and also hosted large Yugoslav and Russian populations. Canter’s Deli, one of Los Angeles’ culinary landmarks and a beloved fixture in the city’s Jewish community, was originally located in Boyle Heights before it followed its customer base to the Fairfax District in the 1940s. However, during and after World War II, most of its non-Latino population left for Mid-Wilshire, the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys, and the West Side. Boyle Heights’ Japanese population was interned in relocation camps such as Manzanar during World War II and did not return after the war. This evolution is evidenced, among many other ways, by the name of the district’s main drag: once Brooklyn Avenue, it was rechristened Cesar E. Chavez Avenue in 1994. ]Breed Street Shul Breed Street Shul, 2008 Opened in 1923, the Breed Street Shul, located at 247 North Breed Street, was one of the oldest synagogues on West Coast of the United States. Boyle Heights was a predominantly Jewish community for many years, but slowly the demographic changed to a large Latino community, and the synagogue steadily lost congregation members
