East Los Angeles

The unincorporated area of East Los Angeles (aka 'East Los') for many decades has been home to Mexicans, Chicana/os and, increasingly, to more Central Americans. East Los Angeles is a historically rich, progressive community where the Chicano Movement was shaped and prominent artists, leaders, politicians, and scholars formed their ideologies. East L.A. is where the Brown Berets were formed, modeling themselves after the Black Panthers during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Aside from its rich history of politics and its anti-establishment ideals, East Los is known for its deep musical roots, its amazing Mexican cuisine, its contributions to pop culture (e.g. the lowrider was invented in ELA), and its proud people. East LA is to Mexicans what Harlem is to Blacks: the cultural capitol of the U.S. for Mexicans and Chicana/os. Punto.
East Los Angeles is aka 'East Los,' 'ELA,' and even simply as 'Los.'

east of eden

An incredibly insightful book that delves into the fundamentals of good and evil written by John Steinbeck. Probably the best book he ever wrote and easily a classic. Most people won't read it because they're actually required to pay attention and they have the attention span of a two year old. This book can change lives.
"yeah I couldn't read East of Eden."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm a blind, deaf retard."

Eastleigh College

A sixth form college, located in Eastleigh, in the county of Hampshire, England. It has now been officially branded as the college playing host to the most chavs in the South. It is a technical college, and turns out many hairdressers called "Chelsea" and "Charmain". Though it does have some good people, who take computing and have silly nicknames.
