I grew up across the river in Cypress Park. I went to high school with a bunch of people from the elysian valley area a.k.a frogtown. Great production. Gave me chills. Shoutout to Machine Building specialties on Blake Ave. I used to work there for a little over a year. Frogtown is a cool neighborhood.
I’ve got family from Frogtown. I was born there but moved soon after “Mellon St.” But when I would go visit my Grandma I always felt like I was at home. The vibe there was just different.
I grew up in Frogtown, Ripple Street -70's-80's. My uncle's Bobby and Baston. My uncle Baston was good friends w/Lil Man and Jose. I would always ride my bicycle down Cooligde St. and "Toro", would call me, Lil Cruiser.
What a beautiful song and good memories, I want to thank everyone for their love and support when my granddaughter passed away last October. All my homeboys and homegirls will forever be in my heart. God Bless You with love Peaches Frogtown RS

Sad to see all the Hipster's have No Respect for the neighborhood and Community OG lovals and resident's including the Elysian Valley Neighborhood Council 👎👎 When I go to the Businesses Along the LA River they Aren't welcoming to the locals and don't realize Back in the Day, people weren't able to go in that area because the Cholos were territorial over it.

You fellows created a masterpiece here. The people there, always a class act, now the music is, too. From your Boyce Ave neighbor, Atwater.

My Wonder Years
During a rising spring sun
From the land of sugar
Cross the American West
To the City of Angels
I eerily return
To my hallowed home
Near the iconic City Hall
And starry Hollywood
In the barrio of Elysian Valley - Frogtown
Of stucco and wooden bungalows
Between the hilly Elysian Park
And the ancient Los Angeles River
Beyond the San Gabriel Mountains
As I serenely roam the tree-lined streets
I hear the chiming bells
From the Mission style tower
Of the Saint Ann Catholic Church
As I poignantly trek the River oasis
Near the bright orange steel bridge
A great blue heron hovers
A sandpiper feasts
A duck wades
While toads croak
As the spring sun dips
Into the Pacific sea
I reminisce about my bygone past
In Romanesque Revival style Dorris Place Elementary School
At Elysian Valley
In Moderne style Washington Irving Junior High School
At Glassell Park
In Gothic Revival style John Marshall High School
At Los Feliz
In Romanesque Revival style University of Southern California
At University Park
My maddening escapades
At Chinatown and Little Tokyo
With dear family and friends
In this Frogtown
My wonder years.
