    Welcome to LA! I know you're new here, but Angelino Heights and Silver Lake are not the Eastside. I've lived here my entire life and currently live in Little Tokyo, which is near the real Eastside (Boyle Heights). It's really not as bad as it used to be, but has a lot of beautiful photo ops. I hope you enjoy your time here and hope to see you walking around my neighborhood in Little Tokyo sometime!
