News of her death stunned many in the port town who had taken part in Romero’s popular walking tours, lectures and pandemic-era virtual meet-ups dedicated to telling San Pedro’s stories…
Angela Romero was born on Sept. 16, 1978, at Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center, to Maria and Juventino Romero. She was a fourth-generation San Pedran and the eldest of four children.But she felt like an outsider for many of her younger years, Stecker said, so when it came time for high school, she shunned her hometown San Pedro High. Instead, she followed friends who decided to attend Narbonne High School, in neighboring Harbor City, for the magnet program there.
Intrigued on her initial walks by the houses and hillside street scapes overlooking the Port of Los Angeles, Romero soon got a crazy idea: She’d walk every street in San Pedro. And she meant it — every street, over 12 square miles of them, up and down hills, in her signature Vans slip-ons. And then she would blog about it.
In 2013, she started “That’s So Pedro,” a podcast and blog exploring San Pedro news and culture. Along the way, Romero also produced house histories for homeowners and developed local history programming for grade school students. “We really wanted to have it right, and that was what she was so good at, really digging in” to find the correct information, Johnson said. “She was like an encyclopedia.”“She loved telling the stories,” Stecker said.
