Some other old WS barrios are Alpine St (died out), Bunker Hill (died out), La Loma (died out), Chavez Ravine (died out), Bueadry Boys(died out), 38th St, Venice 13, and Sotel13, Echo Park Locos.

Some gangs that died out in the 70's were: The Brotherhood, The Yellow Brotherhood. Frogtown was definitely around.

Some gangs that died out in the 80's were: La Mirada Hustlers, etc. Well here on the West, there was a lot of movement and sprouting up of a lot of gangs. This could be a long list...but really a lot of gangs sprouted up from the old gangs or to battle old gangs.

Some gangs that died out in the 90's were: Red Hands, Bonnie Brae Locos, Street Criminals, Virginia St. Locos, Tear Drop Locos, AHTS or Angelino heights, Westside Locos13, etc. Then again there were a lot of taggers or smaller gangs that got pushed into or absorbed into bigger gangs.

All those hoods go back to the 40s except Venice13,Sotel13,and Echo Park. They came out later. Chavez Ravine died out when they built Dodger Stadium. I believe they went on into ExP. The other hoods were in the Downtown/Belmont/Rampart area. These hoods died out by the 50s/60s/ when DST and TST became and stil are the dominant barrios in that area. Big Top Locos has been making a move latley over there.

who would have controlled the mac arthur park area back in the 60/70's?? clanton? 18st?

peace!

In the early 60s I would say Mcarthur Park would be most frequeinted by Clantone and Temple. 18 came out in the late 60s

No one ever mentions 5th Hill, they are an old barrio from right there in the middle of downtown LA. They are not that active but they do have a few guys left.

yeah, no one even really noticed them back in the day either...LOL.

I SAW MANY 5 HILLS GRAFITIS AROUND WATTS IN IMPERIAL JUST FROM NICKERSON GARDEN TO THE STATION ITS WAS CROSSED BY CYCOS 13 AND YOU HAD IT COVERED ALL OVER THAT AREA

5th hill, are they even around anymore?? ive never met or seen anyone from this gang, but i know a few people who claim to have been hit up by some of them at a bus stop dowtown,lol, but that was along time ago. i have seen their graffiti around downtown thoe.

Does anyone know how old 5th hill is??

I remember their was a handful of VLS(Virginia st LocoS) in Palmdale in the mid-ninties. One of them used to kick it with me and the homies all the time. We were all from different hoods.

CINCO LOMAS aka:FIFTH & HILL started out if I remember correctly in 77 or 78, right around when that cheech and chong movie "up in smoke" came out, back in the day when all those theatres downtown would play up to 3 movies & you could light up inside with no real fuss from anyone, and hordes of gangsters would be on different theatres every weekend. Those were the days when 5H started out with lots of people in their ranks.

Anybody ever heard of ML varrio MAS LOCOS, and WL varrio WESTSIDE LOCO ? "not the west side locos".

WAS THE BUNKER HILL GANG ONE OF THEM OLDER ESE HOODS THAT USE TO ROAM CHINA TOWN?? CUHS THERES A STREET IN CHINA TOWN NAMED BUNKER HILL. LA LOMAS ARE GETTING DEEP AGAIN AROUND SOLANO ST. SO I DONT KNO ABOUT THEM DYING OUT ANYMORE. THEY BE GOING AROUND TAGGING THERE. THEY KICK IT AT ELYSIAN PARK AND THIS ONE PARK ON SOLANO, 4GOT THE NAME OF THAT PARK THO.

Temple Street - 1923
In the Westside id say its Temple and Clanton are The very first.

OK La Loma, Alpine St, Tear Drop Lokos, Varrio Solitre Rifa are officialy dead. I'm curious about Beudry Boys and Bunker Hill Gang though...Can anybody spit some history? O yea Angelino Heights are back but aren't nothing big.

Im curious about The Yellow Brotherhood too...

Consisted of yellow asians (japs/chinese)...check ADAP for a few of those dudes...LOL.

YB is only a basketball team now. they still have functions (grown folks functions) from what i heard.

What is ADAP?

Does anybody control the dodger stadium general area? Is that area considered koreatown?

thanks in advance

^^ Haha Korea Town wtf. Thats close to China Town. Dodger Stadium is like where a few gangs are devided. EXP, OBS/LCM, AHTS/DFO, and OLBZ. So all them gangs would consider that block their hood. Everybody had some history there.

my bad..haha...i meant china town...

thanks for the info...whenever i have been in that area, i really dont see too many people out and about...but more back into hollywood its pretty packed with people in the streets.

@ big dusty ahts didnt die out , google it they are very active are you even in the streets or in your rocking chair?

this was/is a good ol thread

need more of 'em like this right here

Bunker Hill is ancient. That gang dates back to the 1910's. That's pre-Chuco. Vatos were rocking that old dead end kid stlyle back then.

Harpys might go back to the 1950s
