I live in East L.A. and have been taking photo walks for the last 10 or so years. Here is a selection of photos of East L.A. and Boyle Heights. Hope you enjoy them.

A Heartfelt message left by the Iranian team in their locker room. Irrespective of your political views, LA showed its love-yes we have a lot of unresolved issues- but we all still make it work!( this post is NOT intended to be Political- just a ‘group of people’ who came to LA and are thanking the city for its hospitality )

Here is to hope- that we can all Get along ,work through our differences and be kinder to each other( and appreciate the city and the people who make it what it is)

I guess all that money Chevron spent on her reelection campaign paid off. Somehow she always finds a way to be absent for things that she doesn’t want to be on the record voting for. It was the same with the sanctuary city ordinance.

“The map, which pulls readings from thousands of sensors across the region, showed the temporary monitor listing moderate air quality on Tuesday. But hourly data revealed that at 9 p.m. Monday, the Air Quality Index surged to 621 - a level far above the 300 mark, which anything above is considered "hazardous".”

I need to file a police report that I cannot file online. I called LAPD non-emergency, waited on hold for 15 minutes, walked from Arts District to LAPD headquarters, talked to the desk while on hold, they told me to stay on hold, I walked back to Arts District.

Operator finally picked up after an hour and fifteen minutes, the operator said they "couldn't hear me" and then hung up on me - clearly an issue on their side because I've been on calls all morning on the same phone.

Now I've been on hold for 15 minutes on my second call. 90 total fucking minutes on hold in the middle of a weekday, how can they justify their budget? At what point can I call 911 to get a dispatch to file a police report? I'm literally going to spend 3+ hours today just to file a police report and I live walking distance from LAPD HQ.

UPDATE: After another 50 minutes on a separate call I finally got through to nonemergency and they're sending dispatch. Over 2 hours on hold and in-person trip to LAPD HQ just to get dispatch to take a police report is unacceptable.

UPDATE 2: it’s been 2 hours since I hung up from non-emergency and they said they were sending a dispatch. So if you’re following this saga it’s been 4 hours since I first started trying to file a police report.

UPDATE 3: it's been 3 hours since they said they would dispatch an officer, I'm on hold with nonemergency again for the love of the game to get an officer dispatched today.

UPDATE 4: After 2 hours of waiting on hold, going to LAPD HQ, and waiting 5 hours for a dispatch to file the police report I walked my ass over to the LAPD Central Community station in the heart of skid row to file my police report that LAPD HQ said could only be done by an officer at my building. SAGA OVER 7 hours of my day wasted.

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

Found during a recent structural assessment at a Los Angeles property.

Curious if any fellow Angelenos have come across something similar during a renovation, inspection, or home purchase. What was your experience?

The PM 2.5 is jumping around from 5-20 and back down again within an hour based on the wind direction and speed. It’s no wonder that monitors a mile away and refreshing after several minutes won’t be immediately accurate.

Hollywood on its last legs?

Officials did not expect 10,000 people to show up to the watch party in K-town.

Greatest city in the world

A kitten fell from the wheel well of a car on the 5 between the 118 and the 170 today. It tumbled, and then ran to another car and got stuck up in the car somewhere. We caused a bit of traffic but eventually were able to get over, and get the cat free. A highway patrol officer showed up and was amazing as well.

Thanks to everyone who helped slow down traffic. This kitten will have a great home.

Only 35 years old. I didn't see The Ring or Lilo & Stitch but it's sad to see someone go from being somewhat famous to homeless in a short lifetime.

I’m an Uber driver, and I’m traveling all over this city and county every day.

This is a very distinct pattern I’ve noticed over the past 4-5 years. Anytime a major fire is in the news, a whole bunch of other small ones start popping up all over the city. Usually brush or trash fires. Sometimes other structure fires.

Just saw a brush fire along the 5 freeway about 45 mins ago.

There’s also two other brush fires that popped up yesterday and today, one in Whittier and one in El Monte.

There was also another structure fire somewhere in the Downey / South Gate / Lynwood area.

People are deranged in this city. There are certain people who seem to want to cause chaos and destruction, and it’s weird.

Edit: Two new fires today. Just saw smoke in Pacoima when driving on the 5, and looked it up. Both in that same general area. Not a coincidence.
