monterey park: "pride in the past, faith in the future"

native americans lived in what is now monterey park for several thousand years before being wiped out from diseases brought by spaniards.  pride!

laura scudder created the first sealed bag of potato chips in this los angeles suburb in 1926.  before THAT, she was a nurse, and THEN she was the first female attorney in ukiah, california.  go laura!

monterey park has the largest population of people of chinese descent of any city in the nation.  this is why we went there for dim sum.  and why it was worth waiting an hour for a table.  faith!
