Pickels were 5 cents each. yelling at the ice cream truck to stop. Going to the store the long was cuz going the short cut you would have to haul ass not to get bite by the big mean dog that was waiting for you to pass by. Good Times!! haven't been to Boyle Heights in for ever, since i moved out at the age of 6. Last time I past by it was so different, some how i \remember it being more family friendly, now it seems more like homes are being rented out by the room, hense more single people and some are up to no good. Its seems more dirty, more run down. Like people don't care. It just has change so much for me and for family & friends that I don't know anyone that lives in Boyle Heights anymore. When I was growing up in Boyble Heights I had chinese, white, jews as neighbors. It was a different screen. The crime in the area was going up and thats when my parents made the choice of packing up and selling the house. I remember the house a beautiful 2 story old wood house on Winter St. big rooms even bigger back yard. Left all that behind to move to a 1 story house in a quite neighborhood called Whittier. Now that am older and look back I can say I really love the part in my life I lived in Boyle Heights. I now Live out of California but when I do go visit family, I think of taking a stroll to Boyle Heights. Maybe on my next trip to California I will. I had fun as a kid in Boyle heights.

I stopped reading I figured PC, realy I am too white: I stopped and thought hmm? PC? hmmm? "oh people of color!" Yah, I get that, my nephew is half black, skater Venice Beach Rad dude. He is the apple of my eye. Then I kept reading and you said something about a white middle aged guy. I thought "oh shit" I am white. Aint that just about a bitch. ANY WAY THERE GOES THE NEIGHBOR HOOD as the ol' sayin goes I'm moving there. I am PC but I'm what they called me when I worked at Sylmar Juvenile Hall, (as a secretary) The pink girl, cuz I look pink. I so white I'm pink. So my peeps keep an eye out for the tall smiling pink blonde on the Montebello 40 going to work on 5th and Flower. Im a legal secretary living LARGE in my new Hood.

The City owns the bus stop the advertising agency just takes care of it directtly, so that they can advertise on it. The advertisers don't own it. The City can revoke the advertisers contract. My saying the city meant the city where the bus stop is stationed is in charge of who takes care of the bus stop and it's completely out of public transits hands. Anyways METRO should still care and have some kind of contract with the City in regards to a certain level of service that must be maintained in order to own one of these bus stops. There should be some kind of proactive approach from METRO or the City. Anyone. Someone should really give a damn you know? These bus stops become very cheap advertising for these companies and some kind of standard must be enforced by METRO or the City. Corporate entities are going to do the least possible allowed.

Bus stops are administered by the transit agencies who contract out a company (usually an advertising company) to clean and maintain it. FYI, the City does not maintain the bus stops.
