Manigong Bagong Taon! Happy New Year, LA!  Here's a photo I took of the mural at Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles, CA. 📷 Please click to follow our website/blog LA.pinoybuilt.com Rideback Ranch “Welcome to HiFi” Mural and Larry Itliong Utility Box Address: 1660 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026 Since first calling Historic Filipinotown home in 2018, Rideback Ranch has been a thoughtful and engaging neighbor. One of their contributions to the neighborhood was the painting of the “Welcome to HiFi” mural on the western side of their campus. The mural, filled with a beautiful array of colors, lego characters, and designs using Baybayin, the pre-colonial script of the Philippines, was a collaborative project headed by artist James Ame with contributions by Filipino American artist Kristian Kabuay. Along Beverly Boulevard also sits a utility box with a painting of Filipino American labor leader, Larry Itliong.  

After a three-year break due to the pandemic, the Historic Filipinotown Neighborhood Council held its 15th Parol Pride and Festival in Los Angeles to kick off the holidays. Steve Angeles gives us a look. #TFCNews
