Challenging times for House of Trophies
Last year, after 25 years of business on First Street in Boyle Heights, the House of Trophies lost its biggest client. The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks chose Anderson Trophy to make trophies, medals, and plaques for city teams. The neighborhood shop lost nearly half of its income. The store's owners talk about budget cuts, running a small business, and loyal customers, on Boyle Heights Beat.
