My name is Kevin Trejo, I was born and raised in South Los Angeles also known as “South Central”. The approximate population is 749,453 it is divided into 28 neighborhoods. South Los Angeles has had a reputation of gang violence and poverty. This community has many landmarks like Watts’s towers, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Sports Arena, USC, and Coca-Cola building. These communities has been dominated by middle class Latinos and African Americans. As a member of these neighborhoods I can tell you South Central can be a dangerous or a euphoric place to live. A dangerous place because of all the crime and drugs but a also a protective and safe environment. It really depends on how you treat the city and people who live here. With my 19 years living in South Central I have come to learn many things about myself and life lessons on respect, responsibility and ambition. Los Angeles would not be the same without this community.
I did not know that South Central was divided into 28 neighborhoods!
ReplyDeleteI like the post especially about how it is divided into different neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteI thought South Central was just one city, but wow surprising to know it's divided like that.
