Jimmy Gomez Hosts Fruit Tree Giveaway

When scores of people queue up on a weekend under a scorching sun to get a freebie, you can bet that the giveaway is something special.

That’s what happened Saturday in a Highland Park, where long lines of people could be seen in the parking lot of Superior Grocers to get their share of some 200 five-gallon, cherry, avocado and plum trees, reports Eastsider L.A.
