Takes 2-3 hours to get to the mountains and takes around 4-6hours to go back to the beach with good weather also u need time do anything which takes 30mins to 1 hour. Good beach weather is like at 12am-3pm unless u go earlier which is too cold. Also good beach weather is during the summer. Mountains are alreqdy melted. I guess u can try to dat but it will suck so badly and be a waste of time. Only area in world that u can do that is Lebanon
In this video, you are driving through my old hood. If you're still in the area or will be again later on your trip, there's a KIng Taco that we love on E.3rd St. in East LA but they are all around the LA area, if you want to give it a try. I'm really enjoying all of your California videos! Keep up the great work, Jose!
Jose I'm glad you like East La That's where I grew up and to see this video you did of my own place I got emotional Although streets you went through I used to work back-and-forth 80s and 90s it was hot back in the day
@@karinalara7595 that's downtown already hes talking bout east los .. Go to Azteca and get yourself a burrito there voted best for multiple years in a row I know wassup I was born n raised n east los know it like the back of my hand
Nice video, I loved LA when I visited, it’s so much to see and do. I feel like the only issue with LA and California in general is how expensive it is, but many US cities seem to be catching up to it every day. If they can fix the rent and home prices then a lot of issues would be solved.
This is a great video! I was born in East LA at the same hospital as my dad. We were born at Beverly Hospital but I don't even know if its still there. We lived in Downey and loved it. My mom and dad were the first graduating class in 1959 at Warren HS. Downey used to have a lot going on with theaters, restaurants, civic events, rose float assn, parks, the river, architecture, beautiful churches... Anyway, over time places fall apart and eventually people return and revive the community. Hope that happens for Downey too.
It might look nice, but theres plenty of crap going down here. Maybe driving thru you dont see it but we spent like 4 days here and did everything from shopping to getting food to buisness and its got some serious issues. Like literally i am very aware of my surroundings and several of the places we frequented had their handful of activities if you know what i mean. So, its looking good but look very closely and you can see poverty, use, and much more. Lets just say even new hotels or restaurants you gotta pay close attention to every detail even in a parking lot for example.
Hi. I am a new yorker use to east coast winter cold weather every year. BUT, I am interested in finding out what is the year round weather in Los Angeles. Is it warm year round. Thanks
As a 44 year old California native who's been around and is highly familiar with it's political culture, it's both the state and local laws, and the nimbyist (not in my back yard) culture here. Actually, mostly that of the Northern and central coast, but that population pretty much controls the state at this point!
25:33 couldn’t agree more and I’m born and Raised LA county, most go La used to be like this but they just gentrified a lot of the areas even in south la or by Melrose but you can still find this vibe in areas around echo park or even cities in San Fernando valley or go to El Monte it’s the same vibes
Everyone pictures Boyle heights/city terrace/commerce area as the heart of east LA. but the town of El Sereno is the first established, and farthest eastern town in the area of East Los Angeles.
Downey on weekends, I surf Huntington Beach pier, Newport Beach and San Clemente. 105 to 605 fray to 405. Sundays, I surf Redondo beach, Venice and Malibu On the way back Los angles Library. When , I work in Midwest the call me the educated Mexicano “ respect.” 😢
Good place to live is San Marcos it’s north of San Diego it was rated the top 20 nation wide it’s been growing out here there’s lots of new homes and apartments. Really all north county SD has lots of newer homes and apartments pricey but very safe to live in. You were close by in Encinitas and Carlsbad come and check it out. Safe travels to you and Katie
The cultures of Southern, Northern and Central Coast, and Inland Northern California are really different, yet overlapping on a regional bases. Southern California is really a distinct part of the US Southwest, culturally and historically, while NorCal is part of the Left Coast (along with most of the Northwest), with it's own Uneque settlement history and political and vernacular culture. Inland NorCal is a sort of territory or periphery of the Left Coast, which is a sort of transition between the Left Coast and Interior West being more functionally Left Coast but somewhat closer to the Interior "Far West" in Culture.
@@bluegregory6239 thanks. One area that despite being functionally peripheral Southern California (but also with strong ties to the rest of the central coast and sf bay area) is really a synthesis of NorCal and SoCal culturally and historically is Santa Barbara County. Meanwhile, San Luis Obispo County while just barely more Southern California in its social ties actually has a lot more in common in its culture and settlement history with places like Monterey or Santa Cruz or even parts of the North SF Bay wine country while also having significant social ties to those areas and other parts of northern California as well. I think a lot of people get an idea of Southern California as being "Left Coast" because there are some similarities historically in mainly some urban coastal pockets, beach towns and downtown districts elsewhere in Southern California with New Yorkers and people from the Mid Atlantic and even Virginia playing a similer role as New Englanders and people from around the great lakes did farther north, as well as more recent cultural spread from the Bay Area and elsewhere up the coast. This is certianly true to an extent as settlers from those parts of the east coast were indeed quite disproportionately in similer roles along parts of coastal Socal as Yankees were further north, as early business people and professionals as well as more skilled laborers and artisans in urban areas, and also being more concentrated in urban areas then elsewhere, but also having lots of company from people from other parts of the US and world in that role which was also true of Left Coast Yankees. But the crucial difference is that while non New England east costers were concentrated in limmited pockets along the coast in Socal as well as some inland cities like Las Vegas, NV, thay were otherwise not especially concentrated in the Southwest as a whole and most of Socal away from these small pockets (not even a continuous coastal stretch) really isnt much like the remainder of the west coast and is actually much more Southwestern in culture environment. Sure such east coasters were preasant across the Southwest but not especially overrepresented among the entrepreneurs or early elites of most of the region and the area had a more representative mixture of people from throughout the eastern half of the US as well as many Europeans, of course Mexicans and others such as Armenians. Those from Texas and other parts of the western South and Central midwest and plains were moderately overrepresented among settlers to the US Southwest however, but nothing like Yankees and Appalachians (see below) to the left coast. Yankees by contrast were very widspread and very disproportionate among settlers across Northern California and throughout Washington State, Oregon except the desert southeast, and even the Idaho (and Alaska!) panhandles. (also in parts of British Columbia, but that's still more like the rest of Anglo Canada today despite superficial similarities). They were also much more widespread across the class spectrum as well, even among the laboring class. But the latter along with many small business people who eventually became wealthy, even in urban areas, as well as those who settled across the class spectrum in more rural areas in general, were more disproportionately from the upper South and lower Midwest, greater Appalachia that is. It was the early partial synthesis of these two very different dominant groups plus a more diverse and cosmopolitan broader population within a highly fertile and resource rich land with a temperate and partly a rare Mediterranean climate, that really created the world transforming Left Coast culture (as well as the unusually strong big urban/suburban-small city/rural political differences) of the region we know today.
You didn't even began to see all of East L.A. you only saw a small area. You didn't see La Plaza del Mariachi and you still needed to explore Cesar Chavez. Not all neighborhoods are friendly. Goodluck!!!
Stonewood Mall up the street from the Mc Dee's & the best pizza Downey Pizza CO 🍕 across from Mc Dee's and down the street off Florence you got a few more cuban restaurants Tropicana & Portos lots of mini mansions in Downey
I lived on sadler .but really ela ela starts further past Atlantic. I live in whittier but I still love ela. I lived behind carls jr. Now I own the property there. I might go back and live there as I get older. So many family's, ice cream vendors, music..some bad stuff but mostly family oriented.never quiet.lol..its like a small town really..
Please visit Little Tokyo , use metro line , its connected to everything now.. P.S. Alvera street. Use metro. I speak Spanglish , my Japanglish , don’t worry this is california . Remember family and friends Spanglish and work and business english only.. 😢
I just came across this video. I grew up here, and if you really want to see what whittier looked like back in my day when they used to cruise it every weekend in their lowriders, you need to see "Boulevard Nights" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_Nights It's kind of hard to find, but it's the real deal. One piece of advice, don't be going down those alley's at anytime of the day. Also, you missed out on one of the classic and best places to eat when you went through that parking lot of the green place called "Chroni's" it's an ELA landmark. Next time you need to go west of the 710 and north on Eastern and turn left on Cesar Chavez (us old timers still call it Brooklyn) and it will take you all the way into downtown LA and will give you a real look at ELA.
When people think of LA they think beaches, Beverley Hills, Bel Air, Hollywood, etc. technically not wrong but na this is the real LA along with South Central, Watts, and all that.
My uncle used to live in California and he said the only reason he liked it was because he could surf and snow ski in the same day 😂
I pulled the EXACT SAME in HS. Grew up in HB and surfing until 8am then snowboarding by 10am same day! 😎👍
That's not LA
U can't ski ans beach at the same time.
Takes 2-3 hours to get to the mountains and takes around 4-6hours to go back to the beach with good weather also u need time do anything which takes 30mins to 1 hour.
