The Virgin of Guadalupe in Los Angeles

Comments (0) By Ted Soqui Wednesday, May 10 2006

The Virgin of Guadalupe appears on walls all over Los Angeles.

In East L.A., she rests near a poem that reads in part, “Think of where we used to kick it... not of where I was shot.”

At La Colmena mini-market off Avenue 50 in Highland Park, the Queen of Angels accepts food stamps. And on the side of a Koreatown market at Kenmore and Beverly, near Cesar Chavez Avenue, she watches crates of Coke.
