Mayor Drops in on Homeboy Diner

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined some homeboys today on the steps of City Hall to announce the opening of Homeboy Diner. The diner is the latest creation of Homeboy Industries, a non-profit organization that provides former gang members with job training and rehabilitation services. Already receiving praise from City Hall employees, Homeboy Diner is expected to bring in more revenue for the organization and create opportunity for some of L.A.’s most disadvantaged residents.
