Nice post Chimatli, the East and North East areas of Los Angeles have been in lots of movies, and why not, it's maybe the most itierestnng and historical part of LA.And here's a bit of information that I bet most people are unaware of. One of the most important and public members of the Black Panther Party, Eldrige Cleaver lived and grew up for a number of years on the Eastside. Cleaver lived and went to school as a kid in the Rose Hills Housing Projects and writes about his experience in a short story when he and some Chicano kids from the neighborhood burn down an elementary school. I believe this period of his life is also mentioned in his great groundbreaking book Soul On Ice .
