There's a bit of news since the last posting- well, lots, but here's a start, that's very specific to Lincoln Heights.
The Downey Recreation Center has that baseball diamond and newer gym on the south side Spring Street, That's all changing now as the Carnation aka Foremost aka Swiss Dairy property was purchased by the city and is being cleared out for a park to come in.
I received an email invitation to come to the event on Thursday, at 12:30 p.m. sent by Mike Fong, an aide to mayor Villaraigosa. There's a pdf flyer that goes with this but it's a very typical one. The main news is here. There should be a lot on hand with food and beverages to help make the most of this project. The speeches probably will be the downside of the event, unless you happen to like speeches that generally are feel-good things to get your votes in the next election.
Here's the message that you might consider answering if you are in the area that day:
"Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Councilmember Ed P. Reyes, and officials from the Departments of Public Works and Recreation and Parks cordially invite you
