The Eastern Area of Los Angeles, which is a primarily Hispanic community now facing the unfortunate challenge of gentrification.

East La is also used as a metonym to describe the Arizona capital city of Phoenix. It was given that name because Phoenix itself is currently being flooded with Los Angeles transplants and is also falling to gentrification. It is also geographically east of Los Angeles.
"Man, I remember when Señora Guadalupe always made the best sopes on this street. It's too bad East LA is losing it's culture."

East Lansing High School 

A school in Michigan with 1000+ teens who don’t know how to act. The school is very divided and you’re either solo or in a huge group of friends that eventually will break off. The staff is nice with a few exceptions but like every other school the teachers have favorites, and fall out of love with their job and it shows. Party’s always kinda suck because no one knows how to have fun anymore. The girls there are pretty and kind (on the outside) but also will stab you in the back, a lot of them are insecure and sad but they hide it with trying to overachieve at everything. The guys there like to get with every girl before they “settle down” and don’t know how to make up their minds about anything + they’re mediocre looking. I hope everyone at ELHS can get their heads out of their asses and be a little nicer. It’s not that hard. We do pretty good at sports though.

East Laurens High School
