The Mayor Took Me Through Bell Gardens… Unfiltered Part 2

Описание: The Mayor of Bell Gardens, Miguel De La Rosa, took me through the city unfiltered — boots on the ground, real conversations, and a side of BG most people never slow down enough to see.

Bell Gardens has always been a working city. A place built on families, long shifts, small businesses, and people who stay grounded no matter what outsiders say. For years, BG has gotten labeled from the outside — but the truth is, this city has history, pride, and a heartbeat that’s been here way before the internet had an opinion.

In Part 2, we connect the past to the present:
the streets that raised generations… and the changes happening right now.
The old-school spots that kept the community fed… and the new energy pushing the city forward.
The stories people whisper about Bell Gardens… and the reality you feel when you actually walk it.

We also linked up with Councilmember
Jorgel Chavez and rode the BG Trolley — no car, no shortcuts, just moving through the city like locals do. That’s the whole point of this series: to understand the city by being inside it, not talking about it from a distance.

This episode is bigger than I planned because Bell Gardens is bigger than a stereotype.
It’s families. It’s culture. It’s resilience. It’s history still breathing in real time.
