My mother, Alice Cyr, traveled cross-country to El Sereno with her 5 young sisters, mom and dad in 1927 when she was 6 years old.... they drove a car there with all there belongings (ala Grapes of Wrath), and the trip took about 1 month.... She remembers that they lived on Twining Street and attended the Farmdale Elementary School, which are still both in existence. Her father was a house-painter who traveled West (as many contractors did) in the hope of finding work in the area during the growth period of Los Angeles. My aunt Coleen was born to them when they were living in El Sereno.... Mom is writing a book about that amazing cross-country trip and about their life in East LA during that period. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer shortly after the birth of my mother's sister, and so the Cyr family headed back East to Worcester, Massachusetts to be with family in the later days of her illness. Except for this change in her health, I too might have been born in El Sereno.

I have never been to that city but our family had some impact on its earliest days of incorporation, and Mom hopes to remember enough to document life in that area when she was just a little girl. This may always been a city of many cultures, and a place for immigrants of many countries...

There were no sources for the history section, so I removed it. If you have good sources, just put everything back and stick the sources inside the text. Somebody will come along and put them in the proper format. GeorgeLouis ( talk) 04:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC) reply

The material that was removed here appears to have been copied from this El Sereno Historical Society page. You can certainly use it, but it all has to be WP:Paraphrased and cited as to source. GeorgeLouis ( talk) 03:55, 19 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Got permission to use the material and all relevant information has been sent to "permissions" e-mail for review.

Didn't know the process was so formal, but I understand and support the process. It gives Wikipedia more credibility when posted information has been verified.
