Whittier Boulevard, East Los Angeles → Whittier Boulevard – No title with content exists at the shorter title. Whittier Boulevard used to redirect to State Route 72, which is a former designation for Whittier Boulevard in East LA (I just redirected it here) and current designation for Whittier Boulevard in other cities. Furthermore, changing the title would allow us to write more about Whittier Boulevard in places that aren't East LA, like, um, Whittier? pbp 00:56, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

• Support. Lose the unnecessary disambiguation. If there are no other articles for a Whittier Boulevard then it's not needed. Zarcadia (talk) 06:37, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Zoot Suit section

This entire section needs to be re-written. I can do it, but while I am conversant on the Zoot Suit riots, I am no expert. Whoever wrote the garbage that is there now clearly was not either. Can someone who is knowledgeable about the riots do the rewrite? I have written myself a note. If this train wreck is not cleaned up within a month, I am doing it myself. It can't help but be improved. Yeah, I am that good. 47.137.182.8 (talk) 21:55, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Well, years later, I can tell you that the historical basis for the Zoot Suit Riots is still not adequately described ANYWHERE. The real deal is that during WWII, a lot of folks from the rust belt moved to Boyle Heights because they had sons in the navy who were stationed in SoCal. The navy boys took the R car into Boyle Heights and found their girls hanging out with the Mexican dudes who had money and fancy clothes, and they went berserk. Of course, there is a lot more to it, but that's it in a nutshell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:36 (talk) 20:26, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Focus

This is a cool article and it is well written in places. It is without question that Whittier Boulevard is the heart of East L.A., and that needs to be highlighted. What this article lacks is attention to the cities that it travels through - especially its namesake - Whittier. I will attempt to add content to this article, and hope that people who live in Boyle Heights, East L.A., Montebello, Pico Rivera, Whittier, La Habra, and Brea will do the same. This street is our main artery, after all. Not so much in La Habra and especially Brea, but anyone who lives here knows what I mean. Got to get on the La Habra Boulevard/Central Avenue article, if there is one.47.137.182.8 (talk) 22:02, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

East L.A. Ditch Dog

I am aware of this type of hot dog, but I don't think that it originated on the streets of the city of Whitter, as the section on Whittier Boulevard cuisine implies. Whittier is known for Jack's, Norm's, and Mimo's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.137.182.8 (talk) 00:12, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
