Exploring Downey, Beyond The ‘Mexican Beverly Hills’

#106: We're back on our neighborhood grind! This time, HTLA host Brian De Los Santos is hanging out with a Downey pro – AND fellow LAist Studios host – Erick Galindo. Erick is the host of Wild, now in its second season with a fictional rom com based on his life growing up in Downey.

Together he and Brian dive into the history of this gateway city... from its beginnings as an aerospace center to its more recent identity, according to some, as the "Mexican Beverly Hills" and explore what the city represents in greater South East LA.
