Papa Christos IS Los Angeles. I can't tell you how many times I've walked through the back steps and into the market area to friendly staff and amazing Greek food. Of any place in LA that needs to remain a part of our history (and our stomachs) Papa Christos is #1
As a descendant of proud Greek Americans, I was so thrilled when I found Papa Cristos - it's the real deal - such great food, market goods, community atmosphere.
This past February, Papa Cristos catered my wedding and I got so many positive comments from guests and a lifetime of gratitude.
I sincerely hope that this storied institution can be saved - I would love to bring my future children here someday.
This place should be designated as a historic landmark. I remember going there when I was growing up. This is such an important part of Los Angeles heritage!
I have never done anything like this before, however, recently I’ve been haunted with a force telling me to speak out against the possibility of Yolanda getting parole. What she did god will forgive which means we all should as well, but we don’t have to forget nor should we allow her to forget what she took from the entire world. She snuffed out a pure flower in her prime. A soul that touched billions of people and brought inspiration and joy. She was truly a gift from god that was as good as one person could be and her talent brought tears to our eyes from the beauty her voice brought. Of all the billions of people on this earth god sends us a gift like no other and Yolanda killed it. I hope she is seen for the killer she is. A quiet, angry person who attacks when she doesn’t get what she wants. Breaks my heart every time I hear Selena’s songs.
Yolanda Saldivar should NOT be released from prison. In 1995 she murdered an innocent 23 year old woman. I was 10 years old at this time and watching it on the news devastated me. I was emotionally traumatized to hear that the innocent and beloved singer Selena Quantanillas live taken away. Not only did Yolanda selfishly take away the life of a wonderful singer but also devastated and traumatized her family and husband Chris. Still to this day in 2025, I get emotional when I hear Selena’s music wondering what would it be like if this heinous crime was never committed. Rest in peace Selena you maybe gone from us but you are never forgotten, my generation will still see that Yolanda Saldivar still remains behind bars.
In 50 years, will you really be proud to be standing in a picture with a man whose policies, actions, and values are so anti-American and anti-democracy? This is not just left vs. right anymore. This is about upholding the tenets of our government vs. dismantling them. A visit to the White House signals that the Dodgers organization does not see or care about the gravity of our current administration. Your fan base is filled with people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, and people of middle class and low-income families. I can almost guarantee you that the majority of those people will view a cordial visit to the White House as a slap in the face. You are the organization of Jackie Robinson, Hideo Nomo, Sandy Koufax, and the first pride night in the MLB. You are better than this. As a native Angeleno and lifelong Dodger fan, please, I beg you, show a little spine and stand by the values that make me proud to be a Dodger fan.
The Trump administration is seeking to ban a Jackie Robinson biography from the U.S. Naval Academy library, under an executive order aimed at eliminating material that promotes diversity and equity. This is the same Jackie Robinson who risked his life for this country, was court-martialed for refusing to accept segregation, and went on to break baseball’s color barrier with the Dodgers' support. That the Dodgers would shake hands with the very administration attempting to erase that history is painful and bewildering. This visit, planned a week before Jackie Robinson Day, feels especially contradictory. To honor his memory while standing beside those who would silence his story sends a message that cannot be ignored.
