Ernie's Place residents are supported by 24 hour staff that assists them in leading independent lives.

I have been a member for a year. I can honestly say that these members have been really working hard to help the children. I was at the golf tournament that was sponsored by both Penski Toyota and Kiwanis Club of Monterey Park. It was a huge success.

Monterey Park is known for it's name "Little Taipei" ,where you will find all assortments of Asian eatery,and some Hispanic Tacos
I found this real interesting pizzeria right here in Monterey Park, here is write up about it
Bollini's Pizzeria
The new pie in town
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 11:00 am
At the bottom tip of Monterey Park, in a neighborhood better known for its tacos than for anything Chinese, Bollini's is an unlikely bastion of real Neapolitan pizza, a narrow storefront serving as a rudimentary support mechanism for the magnificent Italian oven that turns cords of cherrywood into intense, pizza-blistering heat. Chef Christiano Bollini, who grew up in the neighborhood and put in time at one of the best pizzerias in Naples, turns out brawny, load-bearing crusts, blackened and crisp at the rim; raised and a bit doughy at the center. There are classic Margherita pies, unconventional pizza with pesto and shrimp, pizza with three kinds of sausage, with spinach and ricotta, and (shudder) with pineapple and bacon. The enterprise is still on shaky legs, although it is already scheduled to expand into the space next door, and the few tables seem superfluous to the booming to-go operation. The pastas are not going to cause Gino Angelini any sleepless nights. There is as yet no alcohol license. But the heart of any pizzeria is the crust that its pizzaiolo manages to coax out of its fires, and in that, Bollini's is pretty much there. How dedicated is Bollini to the cause? He has the Italian flag tattooed on his arm. 2315 S Garfield Ave., Monterey Park, (323) 722-7600, www.bollinispizzeria.com.

The City of Monterey Park is 7.73 square miles in size and located in the San Gabriel Valley, just east of Los Angeles. Incorporated on May 29, 1916, it is a City that combines almost a century of history and tradition with a modern approach to business, neighborhoods, people, and community.
In the 1980s, Monterey Park was billed as "Little Taipei". Many businesses from Chinatown, Los Angeles began to open up stores in Monterey Park, such as the Sam Woo BBQ Restaurant. In the 1970s and 1980s, many waisheng ren Taiwanese immigrants began moving into Monterey Park and Mandarin Chinese was dominant in the city during that time period. By the late 1980s, however, immigrants from Mainland China and Vietnam have moved into Monterey Park as well. In the 1990 census this city had the first Asian descent majority population in the continental United States.
It is conveniently located adjacent to three major freeways that provide north-south and east-west access to all of Southern California - bounded on the west by the Long Beach Freeway (710), on the north by the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10), and the south by the Pomona Freeway (State Highway 60). Because of its central location and proximity to downtown Los Angeles, Monterey Park is well served by public rail and bus transit lines, providing residents and employees with many alternative ways to traveling to work, shopping, and home.
