I am an undergraduate for Cal State Los Angeles and i'm taking a class in California history.  I need to do a paper on a city of los angeles.  What better city than echo park.  Growing up there for twenty one years i still don't know the city very well.  I want to interview someone who has been living in Echo Park for a very long time.  Suggestions with contact info. would be greatly appreciated!

I have been here in Elysian Heights for 32 years but there was a lady I used to train that has been here since the 1950's if she is still alive--I hope so.  And a man down on Princeton that has been here for quite a while Mr. Elmer who used to teach at Elysian Heights Elementary School on Baxter and Echo Park Ave.

I remember living in Echo park. I went to school at Elysian Heights from 1st grade until 5th. I remember riding our bikes into Eylisian Park through the back road and the stairway that took you to the park. We lived across the street for years until we moved in88. Those where one of the best times of my childhood. Not only that my bro and I use to raise hell in school a lot. Good times though.
