I enjoyed many meals with friends at Manny's.<br /><br />When I lived in the dorms at UCLA I laughed when some of the NorCal freshmen talked about El Tepeyac like Columbus talked about the new world. "You gotta check out this place!," they said. These silver-spooned kids with their hearts in the right place ventured off into East Los to learn a little something about the East Los culture. They came back that weekend with what I expect were some of their richest memories and experiences.<br /><br />Every now and then a landmark goes down. I am happy to hear that this was not the case.<br /><br />Jesse Torres<br />President and CEO<br />Pan American Bank<br />East Los Angeles, CA 90063<br />"California's Oldest Latino-Owned Bank"Jesse Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721379691508549253noreply@blogger.com
