I've been a motorcycle mechanic for almost thirty years now. I work for a shop and most of the time I ride my motorcycle to work.
A lot of people around Frogtown know me as "Space." I've been born here, raised here. Artist by nature, cyclist by hobby.
I work as the senior lead officer where I'm in charge of improving quality of life for the community here. I'm in charge of Cypress Park, Glassell Park, and part of the Mount Washington area.
They brought me from the hospital straight here. And I've been here forever. I'm 26 now and I've lived here my whole life.

I've been living here since nineteen-ninety-six. It's quiet, a lot of people hop around.
I guess the best part of my life was growing up here; the community was little bit different than it is now. There were a lot of Cubans, a lot of Puerto Ricans.

I love dogs so much, I decided to work with dogs, so I became a groomer. When I first come in this store, I fell in love with all the decoration in the store.
The Northeast L.A. (NELA) Placemaking Design Competition is seeking implementable projects that enhance the neighborhood identity, river revitalization, community health, and public spaces of the NELA river area and its adjacent neighborhoods.
There've been a lot of changes since we first came here. The lofts next door took about eight years to build, and now they're all filled up.
The park that we have right here on San Fernando is called L.A. River. It's great. They have two or three soccer fields, a basketball court, and playground.
