City of EeeLa

The unincorporated county that is East L.A. launches it's cityhood drive, according to the LATimes:

Supervisor Gloria Molina, who represents the area, has long fought for better services there; a county government building opened in East Los Angeles earlier this year. But incorporation advocates worry that they are easy to ignore among her 2 million constituents.

Molina's chief of staff, Miguel Santana, said the supervisor would back whatever East L.A. residents ultimately decide.

Home to generations of activists, the seven-square-mile community is bordered by Montebello, Commerce, Monterey Park and Boyle Heights.

I wonder if the future city fathers and mothers will demand that Boyle Heights be considered the "Westside".
