Florence

"Doesn't Florence runs all the way to Alameda? I hope, if my question is true, that the LA times corrects the map! "

Doesn't Florence extend to Alameda Ave? I hope, if my basis is true, that the Los Angeles Times takes into consideration the editing of such error.

Yes, Jesus, i do hope they correct what ever error you believe is relevant to this web page. In the meanwhile, you might want to go to back to that old English book you acquired at U.C. Davis and just take a gander and see what steps you can take in correcting your grammar.
It is now apparent to me how someone of your apparent demeanor can get accepted into an accredited school. This goes to prove Los Angeles Public high schools lower the standard for students, rather straight forward teaching for the sake of students intellect.

Mrs. Lackey was my teacher... She was awesome.. Florence Avenue Bruins for life.

I have lived in the Florence area for over 20 years and am so pleased that the huge improvements to the Florence Mile brought a neighborly charm and warmth I have witnessed only on the westside, now our town Florence is no longer a euphemism for that Italian city, it reflects our own vibrantly rich Spanish heritage, a place we all want to live, work and see our children educated in. Love it keep it coming.

I live in the unincorperated area of Los Angeles, Florence-Firestone district. This area has been dramatically improving for the better. I purchased my first home in this area and I am strongly considering staying here for the long haul. All the stores, banks, and the Florence metro station, are within walking distance. Great place to live.

this area is a lot better in recent years,,thank to the century sheriffs station that heavily patrols and arrests florence gangsters.

Doesn't Florence runs all the way to Alameda? I hope, if my question is true, that the LA times corrects the map! I grew up on Central Ave and 75th and attended Edison Middle School and John C. Fremont High School. I then went to UC Davis for 4 years. Growing up I saw what the rest of the residents saw on a daily basis; street fights, drug use, drug trafficking, and all the negative things you see in the "ghetto". But while I was attending UC Davis I truly began to appreciate the beauty of this neighborhood and everytime I would come back to visit I noticed almost every change, from a tree being cut down to new business being set up. I now live in this neighborhood again and there are a lot of positive changes going on; from less gang activity to the building of new schools to the remodeling of Florence Ave and the extention of the Florence public library. I think and hope the city's plans are to connect Florence ave's business corridor to Alameda's recently opened Plaza and shopping center to the famous Pacific BLVD in Hungtinton Park. This development will bring more security to the neighborhood and will give Los Angeles another possible touristic destination! I hope that this neighborhood along with the rest of the "ghetto" neighborhoods turn into prosperous and safe South Los Angeles, or I still call it South Central.

This is my neighborhood. My family has lived there for 20 years. Those neighborhood streets, my neighbors, and schools made me a strong responsible Adult. The problem is that those same things can be brutal most of the time. The only way to balance out a childs growth here is with a strong and united family. Growing up I saw the streets chew up and spit out too many of my friends and family. I am blessed to have survived and learned from all of my experiences.

Florence Firestone is a unincorporated community that borders Watts and South Gate. We are South of Slauson, West of Alameda, East of Central Ave,and North of 92nd Street.

I'm well aware that Florence Avenue Elementary School is located in the County of Los Angeles and not in the City of Los Angeles. I was commenting on a neighborhood/area that is in a city (with a lowercase c) called Los Angeles.

Florence Ave Elementary School which I attended, is in the County, not the City of Los Angeles. The area from Central Ave to Alameda Street, Slauson to Manchester, used to be called Florence-Firestone area of Los Angeles County. It is not part of the City of Los Angeles, but is an unincorporated area. You'd think a teacher would know that.

Question: I thought that the Florence area extended to Alameda on the east.
Comment: I attended Florence Ave. Elementary School (K-6) and went back there to teach for 36 years.
