Caught this late off View from a Loft: Blogger EL CHAVO has some suggestions for the movement to have East L.A. become an incorporated city (again): "The main condition, the one that got me thinking about this: make
Spanish one of the official languages. Of course, along with English,
Chinese (Monterey Park is next door, you need to be good neighbors),
Japanese, Spanglish, Calo, Pocho-Spanish (that abrasive tongue of the
2nd and 3rd generation Chicano), and a few others I know I'm missing." Link.
