The Chicano Heritage Mural











Located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, the Chicano Heritage Mural at Figueroa Street and Avenue 61, commemorates Chicano history, including the Chicano movement of the 1960s. Oilcloth International is located a block down from this famous intersection for over ten years! We are proud of our neighborhood, and the mural is a daily reminder of our cultural heritage as Los Angelenos. Click here to learn more about this special community in NELA (Northeast Los Angeles).

Eastsider in Paris

Check out the Eastsider LA, a website detailing the "scenes, sightings and stories from Echo Park and beyond." Recently, the Eastsider contacted us about our latest tweets in regards to the ash crisis. Check out the article "Paris is nice but it's not Highland Park", featuring a story I wrote about being stranded in Paris.

Stranded in Paris

Bonjour from Paris! First off, I must apologize for the total lack of blogging for the past 2 weeks! Members of the oilcloth team (including myself) have been vacationing in Paris since April 2nd. We were to return the 16th but due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland we are "stuck". Although we do count ourselves lucky to be in the city of lights and not stranded in an airport or worse we absolutely cannot wait to return to work and our home in LA! Our scheduled flight has been repeatedly cancelled, unfortunately we are unable to book a flight until Sunday the 25th, more than a week past our original return date. We have great people working with us in LA so that Oilcloth International can keep running smoothly; but please send us positive vibes in hopes that we get home soon!
