Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Last week on Off-Ramp, KPCC's Erika Aguilar joined me at Echo Park Lake to brief me on the fight over a plan to curb gang activity there by imposing a gang injunction. Many residents feel the injunction - which puts strict limits of alleged gang members' activities - is too broad, and targets Latinos unfairly in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood.
This week, the Echo Park neighborhood voted solidly against the proposal, and Erika tells us what it means.
