In this episode, DTLA finally gets some attention thanks to Rosalinda Morales, a native of the area with a genuine love for her city, its past, and its future.
Between a couple of unexpected anecdotes, from the very first settlers to a catholic relic hidden right in the heart of the city, she also reveals some truths about LA that the municipality would rather stay buried underground.
