I’m 62 I worked at Cleland House on Dozier back in 1969/70. Some of the best years of my life. LMV showed me love, even though I was a black college kid, because I showed them respect. Johnny Portillo, Johnny Dominguez, Big Mike Edlive “Gato”,Speedy…these are great guys I will never forget. Anybody still around who remembers us taking the Cleland house van to camp at Big Sur?

Hey I don’t gang bang but I like to read about chicanos .
The sons of mexicans in the usa. Life in east La caugth my attention. There is something special about east los. The way chicanos are, the way they talk keeping it real mexican. Been proud of been aztecs. I think that style comes from the ancient mexico mix with modern USA at that time. Many chicanos say words such aa ese, barrio, vamos a tirar la chancla . Thats the talking they use at the revolution back in mexico and east La has conserve that slang thru generations. Mexicans in south central for example are different. They dont talk like guys in east la. Even some if them call each other Ni66ah. I don’t gang bang but I like to read about life in east los.. Sometimes i drive in east los. Trying to find places like in the movies made in east los, but i dont know wich street to drive trhu. And i know it can be dangerous trying to find where the gangs are locate it and see real gangster. Since i like to read about chicanos can someone tell me how is life in the real gang area, and is east los style dying do to new people moving in to east los and veteranos moving to other states

I moved to Maravilla in 1983. I was 13 at the time. Not understanding the north and south political bullish id meet ppl and say i lived up north in a town called Visalia. My family is originally from east Los but moved to tulare when my grand father got caught cheating. ish happens right.lol. he and his brother owned the Hernandez Nightclub on Whittier Blvd in little valley.At a young age i whipped on alot of asses for that move up north and coming back. I loved growing up in the barrio.i earned much love and respect from them and other neighborhoods. I also gave love and respect to lopez and ALL the other neighborhoods that let me chill and party with them. Respect yourself and others and everything else don’t matter. Put the guns and knives away and man up gente. By that I mean let’s not let the youngsters represent our proud heritage like savages. Let’s school them like we were back in the day. Theres a time and place for everything Raza. Thank God someone took me under there wing. Rip Silent LMV( Carlos Esqueda) also Rip Sailor CR(Edlive Peninuri)
Love and much respect to ALL the neighborhoods. I left all these neighborhoods having a great time and always welcomed back with a hug,handshake, and a mother fen beer!
Imagine if we could just put our dumb pride to the side and differences. We’d run the state the country. Itll never happen cuz were happy with a few blocks instead. The mind is powerful Raza. Also Like to thank my ex cunado Solo LMV . Thanks 4 church and being persistent.
Silent LMV ( Carlos Esqueda) gave me the nickname at 14 years old Joey Loco1.
