Driving Tour of Beverly Blvd (Montebello to East Los Angeles) [4K]

Montebello (Italian for beautiful mountain) is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States, located in the southwestern area of the San Gabriel Valley on 8.4 sq mi (22 km2) 8 mi (13 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. It is considered part of the Gateway Cities, and is a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments. In the early 20th century, Montebello was a well-known source for oil reserves.
Originally an agricultural community, Montebello boasted having the ideal climate, productive soil, and an abundance of water. From the turn of the century and through the 1920’s, the area was famed for its production of flowers, vegetables, berries, and fruits. In 1912 the Montebello Woman’s Club sponsored Montebello’s first flower show in the high school auditorium.
East Los Angeles, known in the 1920s as Belvedere or Belvedere Gardens, is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Los Angeles County, California.

Really enjoyed this. All along the boulevard, a right turn here, a left turn there, would have taken me to my junior high school, high school, childhood home, paper route. And on Beverly, the Montebello Convalescent Hospital where I had my first job, and a little corner market where my mother would walk with my sister and me when we were little kids. Thanks for just a quiet drive.
