86: HTLA is exploring another neighborhood - this time Montecito Heights. You may be thinking, where the heck is that? (Don't feel bad, so were we!). It's a tiny town in Northeast L.A., just across from better-known Mount Washington, adjacent to the famous Debs Park.
We talk to the unofficial town mayor, Hans Maas, an 81-year-old fashion designer who makes clothing for Taylor Swift, Pharrell Williams and other stars, who has been living there for more than 30 years. This hilly enclave is filled with eclectic characters like Hans: artists, painters, musicians and creatives looking for a little space away form the Hollywood scene (which is only 15 minutes away!).
But the best part about the town? Listener Debra Dysart says it's the peace and quiet. AND the panoramic views of downtown L.A. and the surrounding hills. 
Join host Brian De Los Santos and producer Megan Botel as they explore what makes this place so special. 
Guests: Debra Dysart, How To LA lister and Montecito Heights resident; Hans Maas, fashion designer and Montecito Heights resident
