		Beginning in the mid-1970s, “Loisaida” (the Spanglish elision of the neighborhood’s name) became an obsession for her.
		This body of work, made over three decades, stands in marked solidarity and compassion with the people of Loisaida, and continues in a more personal vein the tradition of social documentary begun by Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine at the turn of the 20th century.
		One of the major challenges to the Loisaida over the past twenty years has been gentrification—real estate speculators buying properties on the cheap, converting them to yuppie apartments, and making a killing.

	Selling the Lower East Side - The Emergence of Loisaida
		This chapter reconstructs the decade of neighborhood abandonment and social decline, focusing especially upon the streets and avenues east of Avenue A, known as Loisaida, that bore the brunt of real estate disinvestment.
		While regional and national attention was directed toward the East Village hippie enclave in the 1960s, the area’s Puerto Rican residents built Loisaida as a viable and vibrant ethnic enclave.
		In the 1960s, while the media, politicians and property owners were inured with an "East Village" rather than a Lower East Side, notable changes were well under way in the Puerto Rican community east of Tompkins Square Park.

		Loisaida Libre could become at least partially self-sufficient in food as the neighborhood's vacant lots are turned over to community gardens, the soil nourished with rich compost created from organic "garbage" (coffeegrounds, eggshells, fruit and vegetable scraps, etc.), which adjoining neighborhoods will pay us to accept.
		In addition to growing fruits, vegetables and corn, Loisaida gardens will also grow herbs for use in the neighborhood's network of Free Clinics, which will also be funded by heavy taxation on the outside economic interests that continue to operate within the LESAZ.
		As New York continues the process of political fragmentation which we can see already, Loisaida Libre is likely to become a refuge for progressive exiles from areas of the city where local reactionary forces have taken the reins such as South Queens and parts of Staten Island.

		The Lamentable Journey of Omaha Bigelow Into The Impenetrable Loisaida Jungle Review: This is an unusual book because of the interaction of the author and his characters and the digressions he makes for explanations or to express a viewpoint.
		Ed Vega has a remarkable talent for capturing the multicultural flavor of language as it exists on the mean, and not-so-mean streets of the city.
		Don't be daunted by the title, the author's prose is tight and straight up; his examination of life is as diverse and exciting as the characters who carry this tale.

	Passing soccer on to the littlest Lower East Siders
		In the olden days before soccer exploded in the universe of youth sports, you would occasionally find a younger brother or sister dutifully tagging along to every soccer match, rain or shine, because an older sibling had a game.
		Now that youth soccer has become so popular in the U.S.A., the tag-alongs are growing in numbers, so much in fact that adjacent to almost any match you are likely to find a gaggle of them playing their own mini-game.
		Finally, Loisada Soccer Club (“Loisaida” as in Spanglish for Lower East Side”;) recognized the need to give these 6- and 7-year-olds a day in the sun.
