Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Vermont Square, Los Angeles" in English language version.
'If we don't do something for the neighborhoods, this city will lose its past and the chance to regain its identity.' That's what Greg Fischer, a researcher at the Center for the Study of Los Angeles, wrote to mayor-elect Richard Riordan in 1993. Fischer suggested that the city resurrect the original names of old neighborhoods and housing developments — names that have been lost or forgotten during the region's explosive expansion of the last 80 years — and put them to use again. 'Bring back neighborhood names such as Vermont Square, Belle-Mead, Coburn Park and Normandie Avenue Heights,' he proposed. 'People will have pride in an area with a name.'
So now residents of a 3-square-mile section southwest of the Coliseum want to put an end to that kind of confusion by returning to a name coined by early Los Angeles subdividers to describe their neighborhood.
