I Like The Life

I was in Silverlake taking a walk when I saw Andres standing in his yard. I said Hi and was surprised when I heard his accent. Having grown up in Miami, an overwhelmingly Cuban city, I recognized it right away. You don't meet a ton of Cubans in LA. Andres came from Cuba in 1956 and moved to Miami. He couldn't find any work at the time so he moved to LA where he worked his whole life in Spanish radio covering the news. When I asked him if I could get some advice from him for a project I was doing, he was happy to oblige... even if he wasn't sure what I was asking.
