Dining at the La Morenita Tortilleria and Bakery in Cypress Park is like having a meal at a market in Michoacán or Jalisco. You’re surrounded by food: great trays of fresh bolillos and pastries, racks of lovingly decorated cakes, freshly made tortillas and coolers full of juices and soft drinks. And like the market “loncherias,” La Morenita serves great food at great prices.

When I first heard about test-drilling on possible routes for the proposed 710 freeway tunnel, I didn’t give it much thought. The freeway starts at the Port of Los Angeles and now ends just north of the 10 freeway. Who would think that this could have an impact on Mount Wash¬ington?
Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong!
