Are we friends again? lucky for you, I'm usually a pretty level headed dude. I really don't know much about them, I think they're called Barrio Tamilee Gangsters? they are somewhere around SE San Jo, according to my cousin who was banging SUR for a quick second in the late 90's.

Anyone who knew anything about gangs in San Jo in the 90's heard of Poco Way, their varrio was cleaned up by a gang injunction, I think in the late 90's. they had to hold their ground firm because they caught a lot of heat from Nortenos and cops.

Poco Way LS moved to another location and I heard of VTG.

Meadowfair was ESH old stomping ground. I do know that's an ES neighborhood, but I don't know about the Meadowfair gangs these days if there's any.

There use be a kind of big Water Fountain on 3rd and Paseo De San Antonio. The most Northern Residential part of San Jose into the 80's not including the Orchard Farms and Fields was the Gish/Rosemary neighborhood. Man...

Let me make some small corrections, Alviso was annexed to San Jose in 68' but you'd not know it because of how the city neglected it. the Rosemary neighborhood is officially called "Rosemary Gardens" I through in the /Gish because it's the main street known there.

The city was trying to kick out the Gente out from their Tropicana shops but they stood firm so the city didn't succeed, I'm pretty sure you'll see a Sureno there every now and then. I've not been to the Berryessa Flea Market for sometime but yeah, there are Surenos there. as far as Palmas, I asumming they are doing what Nortenos do, I don't know anything what they are doing these days.

Poco way sur never kicked it in pocoway. They always be chilling at the PK store area or on the corner of outside of pocoway in the 80's and mid 90's. Everytime they roll through pocoway they get checked by the cambodian's. They didnt start gaining weight until the late 90's when all the cambodian's got kick out and the city remodel pocoway.

They had a few firm vato but a lot of them were rankers.

LA TROPICANA - That place is all remodel. Looks very nice now.

Meadowfair- they have a lot of pee wees

Palmas- They be up in the Alum Arock area. Had a few homie's from there.

Yeah, I couldn't verify that but that's all you'd hear Nortenos said in those days, we checked them Poco Way fools. so they were never exact in Poco Way. I went to school with an EHP Vato named "Gordo" from 92-94 do you happen to know him? he should be around 30, I think he lived in Little Portugal or in the Mayfair Neighborhood.

by **Bassettsgv** » July 5th, 2007, 1:22 pm

you dudes know a norteno called Grumpy from Flamagan or some like that ??

Nortenos be always rolling around pocoway area. Story Rd and King is the main crusing street back in the 90's. Every Norte I bump into back in the days be asking "where the scrap at".

EHP?Gordo? I wouldnt know. Mayfair Neighborhood- I remember me and my homeboy would get jump all the time by some norte when coming home from Mayfair school. When we made it to the over path , that goes over the 680 highway it was all cool after that.

Lodo Way is 2 blocks down from pocoway,. Virginia St is on the other side of 680 by the Police Athletic League Park.
Maybe the youngsta that live there now, are cool with them. My cousins are the one who started PTC and from what I recall they never got along with no southsider from pocoway. But than again it been year since I've seen them.

VST was in Rockspring not clanton. A neighborhood close to happy hollow and spartan stadium in san jose. That neighborhood had everyone there, some Norte ,a gang of Sur, Khmer crip, Vietnamese's. Everyone was blasting everyone. I remember in 92 , me and my homeboy was chilling on top of the car pot and we saw a Vst vato with a gauge blasting this viet dude across the street.

You misunderstood me, I know where Rocksprings is. I've no idea what specific gangs are-were there. that is why there's a period after the Clanton sentence, I'm saying two separate things.

About 1/2 year ago I met this old veterano from San Jo, all bien tumbado, con sus linias bien calcadas, tandito y todo el pedo, bien serio el vato pero todo clean en su hablar. El vato was from Sal Si Puedes coming down here to Diego con la familia, he shared some news with me and went his way, then I noticed you ~> "J" got Sal Si Puedes in your profile, so what's up? Break that "OLD BARRIO" down for us down here in the Southern Empire.

by **Bassettsgv** » July 5th, 2007, 5:45 pm

AS FAR AS I KNOW SOME OF THE DUDES FROM CLANTON IN SAN JO WERE ORIGINALY FROM SOUTH CENTRAL LOS ANGELES FROM A SET THEY HAD CALLED 35TH ST JOKERS .. STRANGER . WYNO , CHINO , KATO , MUGSY , RABBIT AND STALKER MOVED TO SAN JO FROM SOUTHCENTRAL LOS AND I MET A COUPLE OF OTHERS WHO MOVED UP THERE FROM HIGHLAND PARK ..
