My mother was born in Orange County after the turn of the century and she is too old to care ... but I do.
If I took her to Orange or Santa Ana today she wouldn't recognize the place. Too many cars parked on the lawns.
The last politician she believed in was her cousin and he had to resign the presidency in disgrace. It broke her heart.

My mom shares your sentiments. She remembers LA as a little girl how nice the city was and it breaks her heart how this wave of Latinos done to this great city.
We have this discussion quite frequently and she blames many people for this mess. Sometimes, it brings me great shame to be half-latino because of the actions of others.

The last politician she believed in was her cousin ... That little house in Yorba Linda ...

For a short time around 1914 my grandparents lived right next door to your Mom's cousin in Whittier.
