    That's not East L.A. Not even close, in terms of how longtime locals, or the local governments themselves, view the neighborhood divisions. This is BASIC Los Angeles knowledge/geography. You obviously don't know much about living in L.A., and even so, didn't even bother to take the basic step of looking at a map before publishing. East L.A., in particular, is very important to distinguish correctly, because it is unincorporated - not L.A. City, like BH is - and neither BH or ELA like to be lumped together.
    Even in Boyle Heights-centric terms, El Pato is JUST BARELY part of it, on the extreme western edge. It's an area that is kind of viewed as "Boyle Heights in name only." Technically it is, but it's not what is usually thought of as the heart of BH. To get to East L.A., you need to go east, all the way through Boyle Heights, to Indiana. Then you cross in to East L.A. - which, again, moves you OUT OF L.A. CITY.

      The distinction is irrelevant to the vast majority of Latinos living in East LA or Boyle Heights. Why? Because the Indiana official boundary is only that and doesn't mean anything else. We've always treated both areas as ONE LATINO COMMUNITY!
      We lived on second street, and one block from Indiana St. We went to both Roosevelt and Garfield. We went to church at Lords and shopped at both El Mercadito, First street store, and Sears. NO ONE EVER CARED ONE SECOND ABOUT WHAT WAS EAST LA AND WHAT WAS BOYLE HEIGHTS! It's complete bull. Oh, and even though we, technically, lived in Boyle Heights, everyone always said we were from East LA. We never said we lived in Boyle Heights. This was during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I still say I grew up in East LA.
