My brother and I went to the Lou Costello Jr., Recreation Center in Boyle Heights, CA. It's a struggling neighborhood, to be sure. Unfortunately we got there too late to hear Lou's family speak, but just as the short film "10,000 Kids and a Cop" was being played. We all sat in a multi-purpose room, and on one wall was the large painting of Lou Jr.
Then several men and women went up and made testimonials, saying that when they were kids and running wild in the streets, the Recreation Center provided activities and programs to help them lead straight lives. Surrounding the Rec. Center are Projects on every side, but on the ends of each building were huge murals painted by some of these men and women in the 1970s, getting them away from painting graffiti and doing something positive instead.
Later, I had a chance to speak to the gentleman responsible for restoring the "10,000 Kids and a Cop" short subject, and we exchanged favorite A&C stories.
Funnily enough, over the weekend my wife met a gentleman from Waukegan Illinois, who said he owed a debt of thanks to the youth center that Jack Benny built.
A really inspiring weekend all in all.
Deep water is dark and restful and full of peace.
