OMG I just happened to stumble across your channel and I love it and I'm only 3 videos in. Keep up the great work Eric.
I really appreciate this. Thanks so much!
I'm really enjoying your commentary on South L.A.
Thanks you! I’m really glad that you like it. And feel free to leave a comment if you’d like me to deep dive into anything else you’d like to see!
Awesome facts about my hometown! I had no idea So. LA was the birth place of Fatburger.
I grew up on that fat burger it was the best
Fat burger > in n out
@@vans4menu nah…. But ok
Home Sweet Home! Thank you for the excellent video.
I’m so glad you like it. Sounds like it brought back good memories!
I am glad you cleared up that misnomer that Watts is apart of L.A and not a city. But that’s the uniqueness of L.A. many people think all those neighborhoods in the Valley are independent cities, like Northridge, Chatsworth, Van Nuys, etc., when in actuality they are subdivided neighborhoods within this city. Personally, I would like to see such unincorporated neighborhoods such as View Park, Windsor Hills and Ladera Hieghts unite and become an incorporated city like West Hollywood did in the 80s. Either that option or become annexed to L.A. It is too populous of an area and too well developed to remain a dependent colony within the County. Plus the area just plain makes L.A look too damn weird on a map!
LA City is Massive city limits north start at the 14 fwy the sprawling city never ends
More excellent content! Right on!
Loved the video man. Keep it up!!
Thanks, Rafael! I really appreciate this!
I didn't know the park one at the end but the other ones I did.
i knew 6 out of the 10, thanks for the education.
Champ city 🤞🏾
Dope information brother. Question why do you love South LA? I’ve Never been.
I appreciate it man. Thanks. South LA definitely has its qualms and far from perfect. Every neighborhood is. But it has so much history, man. There’s been a lot of struggles, but so many more accomplishments that sometimes go unnoticed.
I just know when I search it on TH-cam, none of this stuff comes up. It’s everything bad. Everything stereotypical. Nothing much about what’s good for the average people living here, you know? So this is my humble attempt just to add something good on the web. And share some really cool facts that can be easily buried under presumptions and biases.
But again, I really appreciate you watching
@@SouthLARecap yea man that's what's up. I've always wondered about south LA. I'm from the Bronx, Just moved to LA. I never really heard the good about South LA. Keep showing us them hidden gems and revealing that rich culture. I will be definitely watching. keep it up.
As kids my mom would take us to that Fat burger it was so good
That’s so cool, Tina. Let me know if you’d ever be up for an interview about your experience there! I’m really interesting in telling that history
See's Candies first started in South LA
I just read up on this. It looks like Central LA. It’s first shop opened on 135N Western Ave, which is a permanently closed Tom N Toms Coffee.
Either way, it was a cool start in LA
@@SouthLARecap I really love what you are doing. There is so much great history that is never mentioned. For example,
Verbum Dei used to have zydeco festivals that at one time was attended by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I could also tell you a lot more…
@@gabrielmccaffrey1608 I’d definitely love to hear it. Verbum Dei has an incredible history, too, and I’m working on a video about it for next month. But you’re right, the Zydeco festival was huge!
Oh by the way metro must have heard you 😂 because they are beefing up the train system 5 new stations in the last 2 months
What about Lynwood??
What about it?
Is it south LA ? Wierd AL ? Knights? Just wondering?
So is saying "South Central" LA something people who don't know anything about the region say?
Nope. Both are acceptable depending on which one you grow up. For city documents, it’s legally South LA.
I just adopted South LA for uniformity, and my perception on history. I’ve got 4 videos on the debate if you’re interested.
@@SouthLARecap nice..
I had a quasi argument with a co worker a long time ago about "South Central LA " being an acceptable reference name for the area. He argued against it. He said its just "South LA"
Nice job again!
It’s annoying telling people from watts it’s not a city
That’s why foos die at that hospital cause doctors are practicing
This south central not south la
I know that its a dump.
