[edit] Intercontinental University
Intercontinental University is in Culver City not Westchester. It is close to Westchester, though.
[edit] Otis buildings
The Theme Building and E. Noyes architecture on the Otis campus are, in fact, rather relevant and significant to both local residents and the general public. Well, OK, maybe just the architecture geeks care so much about the IBM building. Still, it is important and worth including.

[edit] Borders of Westchester
I grew up in Westchester in the 60's and 70's. We always considered the 405 as the eastern border of Westchester. Anything east of that was Inglewood. Also we considered Pershing Dr. the western limit of Westchester even though I believe theres a street sign on Manchester near Westchester High that says "Playa Del Rey".

- Borders of L.A.'s neighborhoods are notoriously undefined. We need a source for the one used in this article. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 19:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sources needed
This article really needs sources. There are many statements that are simply opinion, pure and simple, and others which may be true, but we have no way of checking them. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 04:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. I lived in Westchester from 1970-1978 and there was no "covenant-enforced segregation" that I could see. I went to Westchester Lutheran School on Sepulveda Blvd., and it was definitely not white only! In fact, I think I'll go back and edit that statement out; it's inflammatory and unsubstantiated.Henitsirk (talk) 01:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
But of course there were restrictive covenants when Westchester and many other all-white suburbs were laid out. If you examine the deeds, they are probably still there, although they are not enforceable in the courts. Still, you have the right to remove an unsourced statement even though it is palpably true and definitely not inflammatory — only informative. You see, I remember the days when blacks had to leave, for example, Inglewood before the sun went down. Sincerely,GeorgeLouis (talk) 05:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
