The Mayoral candidates are going to be living in South L.A. over the course of the next 6 weeks or so.  We are supposed to be the voters to carry Gruel or Garcetti into office.  YAY, us!

I know some of the community malaise has to do with the constant barrage of issues that always seem to be occurring around us.  For years we've been…
