Pig now makes sense

Re “The Glory of Their Times,” Column One, April 6

David Wharton’s article about the Carmelita Chorizeros was fascinating, one of those really good stories about 20th century L.A. that one might otherwise hear by word of mouth alone.

I lived in Alhambra until 2000, and the logo of the Carmelita Chorizo factory was something I’d see every time I drove up the (still incomplete) 710 Freeway to enter the 10 Freeway going east. The pig with a cap and baseball bat now makes sense to this expatriate, and I can admit now that I used to really wonder about the logo.
