One of Los Angeles' older neighborhoods. A
small community in north east Los Angeles with a large latino population and industial corridor along San Fernando Road. San Fernando, on the outskirts of the neighborood runs parallel with the Union Pacific Railroad. It is a quiet area but also has some
gang activity including that of the Avenues, a lagely latino
gang. Its two claims to fame are the glassell park recreation center and the fact that it was plagued by landslides from rainfall during the
