In the mid to late 70’s in EAST LOS ANGELES, a new gang phenomena occurred on the East Side, the STONER era began. (every true East Sider can confirm) During this time, many of the old traditional cholo varrios had died down tremendously, there were a very few older cholos in East Los, but most of them were “tecatos” and that was very unappealing to this younger generation coming up in East Los, so many of the youngsters evolved into Stoner gangs, getting high on yesca, pisto, pildoras and frios (PCP). Heroin was a straight no/no to this generation during this time period and we had seen how much “carga” would degrade a man to a very low status.
In 1977, Living On’ The Top – of City Terrace park, behind Van Pelt St. up on the hill, in-between Gifford St. there was a big spacious hill side, that young homeboys called – THE LOTT. This was the original birthplace of THE LOTT STONERS 13 Gang.
During the Stoner era in East Los, there were NO youngsters from El Hoyo Maravilla; there was only Hole Stoners in that territory. There were NO youngsters from Lopez Maravilla, there was only The Humpreys Stoners (Many of these vatos got into THE LOTT 13). There were NO youngster from Rock Maravilla and there were only High Time Stoners in the Maravilla projects. During the early 1980s came the Rascals 13 and there were also “Stoners 13 Locos” out of the Varrio Nuevo Estrada projects; Hicks Boys, Slows 13, F.T.W. Stoners, the Crazy Stoners and others. But the biggest of all the Stoner gangs in East Los was THE LOTT STONERS X3 gang with well over 120 active gang members, all youngsters; all very active.
Since Geraghty Loma was on the opposite side of City Terrace Park, and inactive, they had no youngsters; THE LOTT STONERS gang covered a huge – massive territory. THE LOTT 13 gang varrio borders by the early 80’s were from Gage Ave on the East (Gage Boys & Folsom St. Locos / both enemies) and the 710 Freeway to the east (since there was no Lopez Maravilla active at that time). Every Friday night about 40 to 50 LOTT members would head up to the hills above the 710 FWY to drink and get high. The southern border of the neighborhood was Brooklyn Avenue now called Cesar Chavez (Hole Stoners/now HMV worst enemy) and our Northern border was City Terrace Ave. (The Slows 13). THE LOTT had all the hills above City Terrace Park as it was the main hangout, especially during the summer months. THE LOTT also had other hangouts on Hammel Street, Fisher Street, Bonnie Beach Pl., Record Street, Blanchard Street, and even a big hangout with many homeboys in Boyle Heights on Alma Street, but still the heart of the varrio had moved one block down from Van Pelt to where Brannick and Blanchard Streets meet. That was and is still known today as the heart of the THE LOTT 13 varrio. It would be a very common site in the summers of the early 80’s to see 60, 70 homeboys at THE LOTT on Brannick St.
Obviously, like all other gangs, THE LOTT 13 Locos were involved in crimes that included grand theft auto, bike stealing, slanging dope but all the feuds with our rival gangs were settle the Old School Way, “a puros trancasos” proving yourself with your own fists. The LOTT used to throw down with the Gage Boys, Hole Stoners, Folsom St Locos, High Times Stoners at Belvedere Jr. High, Garfield High School, and East L.A. Skill Center.
As the homeboys began getting busted and doing years behind bars our look gradually became more of the traditional Cholo gang. Homeboys starting getting “TLS X3″ and “LOTT X3″ stamped (tattooed) on their bodies as we became more hard-core in gang life-style. The LOTT also lost some homeboys in the early 80’s including Frankie, Pablo, and Toker (R.I.P.). By the mid to late 80’s, THE LOTT 13 SURENOS had evolved into a traditional Cholo n’hood and all the madness that comes with it.
In 1989 all the old traditional gangs in East Los starting recruiting all the Stoner gangs and taggers, who had just recently popped into the scene. Before that, THE LOTT’s traditional enemies were: Hole Stoners, High Times Stoners, Rascals 13, Gage Boys, Folsom St. Locos, and Stoners 13 Locos. All of these gangs except for the S13L’s, got jumped into the local MV gang, so now THE LOTT?s enemies became Hoyo Maravilla, Lopez Maravilla, Maravilla Rifa, Gage Maravilla, Rascals Maravilla, and High Times Maravilla. After the green light on all Maravillas in 1993, all MV gangs became enemies with all East Los ~Sure?o gangs such at THE LOTT 13 Gang.

First of all… White Fence was the first gang in East Los, Then MARAVILLA… Your information is very wrong..And also the Lott almost got into MARAVILLA but El Hoyo Stopped them…Too much blood between them….The lott also was terrified of El Hoyo Mv….. El Hoyo got so big in the 1980’s that no gang in LA could even get into their territory…
you dumb motherfucker do your research right so that next time you get the fucken story right! The LOTT was and is the most noctorious gang in the east side of Los, since day one , the Lott has put fear in the lifes of all.
Fuck the lopps. Man cmon u vatos been hiding for years. U can even fuck wit us maravillains. East los is our MARVELOUS VARRIO! Oh yeah keep paying bitch.

Pues looks like this #2 pluma knows his history. Congrats on the knowledge ese.
You know after all the years of seeing young knockleheads walking into the yArda
underneath the pilars I still get angry & upset. We have lost generations lucked up
educated in self-destruction. We have glorified ‘ Loco-ility ‘, ignored the fact that
getting sent up isn’t a sign of ‘ getting your props ‘ but, of losing everything. If you’d take all that desire of learning ( history of yards of concert / barrio turf ) and put it to
work in la escuela you’d learn that every life has much more to offer. I paid my bills
off the pride of Latinos, Anglos. I have watched things which I would rather forget. I
have walked in the steps of some body who’s locked up but, as a free man. Dated
daughters, madres of ‘ down O. G.’s. One thing I can say they have in common is this, …. Somebody is getting over on them. Stop this madness. Mira here’s one thing I learned in my 40 anos of vida, there is only two types of people out here, the smart & the wise one’s. The smart learn from thier mistakes & the wise learn from other people’s mistake. I am no longer a C.O. I am now back in the private sector.
I am a man who fears God, combat veterano ( former Marine ). You can reply back directly to me rejectionistimewellmanaged at gmail dot com. I am open for constructive conversations. Many of you reading this might feel disrespected or ashame. Just like I felt watching a youngen’ *walk into the walls of la pinta where I
watched. * Walking is a control fall*… & yet we do it everyday ( think about it ).
– Puppetmaster.
ey puppet master are u a D.O.
Aint that the truth, Puppet Master. I felt the same way. ANd I was true blue till the casket dropped. Still am, but I cant believe what the politics and money have caused. Now were warring with the negroes even though we have a common enemy?? Anyways, its nice to see other OG’s that think the same way. Im just pissed I wasted a decade believing in something that really wasnt there.
First of all i want to say thanks to puppetmaster for his wisdom, I dont live in this hood, and i never been there before, but i do have a friend from there, and to be honest there are gangs and gang violence everywhere, BUT whats happening in that area in East LA is a serious problem, its only creating genocide amongst Hispanics, and like Moodster said they are also beefin with the Negroes( these days we call them Black people) its not that we have a common enemy, but that we have a common struggle, there has to be a solution, I think the root of the problem has to do with Taxation, which is not right, nobody like being Taxed, look into history, ever since the Romans first tried the practice of Taxation, nobody has approved of taxation, I don’t like being taxed, you don’t like being taxed, and neither does the MOB!
who do they call corn flakes?
I believe its for Cuatro Flats in Boyle Heights..that is a Varrio that has been around for a long time.
Geraghty Loma Es Rockwood St is a much bigger gang than the lott X3.Geraghty Loma has been around since the early 1930’s and is a pretty strong gang. Geraghty Loma was the original gang that did not get along with any of the mamavergas. Everyone needs to do a better research of the gangs of east los angeles .
Ok then you should know that Geraghty was a Maravilla clique back in the days..if you walk up on Buelah and other circles up in the hills…you can see old placasos that say GMV… It was just that living on top of the Hill seemed better to them and wanting to be different from MV they took that MV off.. ( I heard this story from a credible veterano back in the late 80’s….)
WHAT’S IN THE HISTORY IS TRUE…TO ALL COMMENTERS,IT’S LIKE THIS THE LOTT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A TREE OF IT’S OWN OUT OF GERAGHTY SOIL…OUR STILO FROM THE BEGINING WAS DIFFERENT, THERE FOR NEVER CLAIMING GERAGHTY, BUT ALWAYS, AT THE TIME IN ASSOCIATION…HENCE, “GERAGHTY LOMA LOTT FAMILY” WHEN THE SO CALLED “FUCK MARAVILLAS” CAUSE I DON’T BELIEVE IN DISRESPECTING A VARRIO BY CALLING THEM OUT OF NAME” JUST LIKE WHEN YOU SAY “FUCK LOPPS” I’M NOT FROM THE LOPPS, I’M FROM THE LOTT,SO WHEN YOU SAY IT, IT DOESNT BOTHER ME…IF I’M A LOPP, IT’S CAUSE I LOPP MOTHER FUCKERS HEADS OFF..IF I’M A LOLLY POP, IT’S CAUSE YOU LICK MY DICK…ANYWAYS, WHEN THIS SO CALLED MEETING WAS CALLED TO GET THE LOTT INTO THE (WHATEVER GANG) NO ONE KEPT US OUT…WE KEPT OURSELVES OUT…WE WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE LOTT GANG…IF WE EVER HAD ANY INTENTION TO GET INTO OR BE A CLICK FROM ANY OTHER VARRIO, THAT VARRIO WOULD HAVE BEEN “GERAGHTY” BUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES AND HOLDING OUR OWN WE ARE THE LOTT , AND FEARED BY ALL “FUCK MARAVILLAS” IF WE WANTED TO ADD THE MV THE GL THE USA… WHATEVER!!! WE COULD HAVE DONE SO! WE DID AND STILL DO WHAT THE FUCK WE WANT… THAT’S WHY ALL YOU BITCHES WANTED US TO ADD THE MV… TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS…WAS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! MV’S CLAIM TO BE DOWN AND TAX FREE, AND MAYBE THEY ARE, BUT GO TO THE COUNTY AND DON’T BE SO QUICK TO CLAIM MV SO THEY COULD LOCK YOUR BITCH ASS UP…CLAIM NO AFFILIATE CROSS THE LINE, THEN TELL EVERY SURATA (NO DISRESPECT TO WHAT I STAND FOR) THAT YOU’RE A TAX FREE NOT GIVING A FUCK GREENLIGHTER, AND SEE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS!!! YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN…THAT’S WHY YOU WALK UP TO THE FIRST DEPUTY AND SAY, “SIR, BUT I’M FROM FUCK MARAVILLAS. I CAN’T GO IN THERE” YOU DOWN ASS PC BITCHES…NOT ONLY THAT…YOU LAMES ARE ALL DIFFERENT GANGS WITH THE SAME NAME (LIKE 17 STREET) YOU DON’T GET ALONG TILL YOU’RE LOCKED UP, CAUSE YOU’RE ALL SCARED…THE ONLY REAL VARRIO YOU GUYS HAVE THAT DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK IS MMV…THAT’S WHY YOU ALL HATE THEM…CAUSE THEY REPRESENT YOU AS TRUE GANGSTERS WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU’RE NOT!!! FUCK THEM TOO, BUT I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE… I’M NOT A HATER… I JUST DON’T LIKE MOTHER FUCKERS THAT DON’T CLAIM THE HARDEST VARRIO (THAT IS ONE VARRIO) IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD… THAT GANG IS THE LOTT STONERS… LONG HAIR, TIGHT PANTS…WHO THE FUCK WOULD HAVE THOUGHT… MY MESSAGE TO GERAGHTY: IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, YOU HAD THE MV INGRAVED BEFORE THE LOMA…SOMETHING YOUR ANCESTERS WERE ASHAMED OF…THEREFOR THE CHANGE…AND YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST GANG IN EAST LOS HAD THE LOTT EVER BECAME A CLICK…PEOPLE HATE SHIT THEY CAN’T CONTROL…THE LOTT GANG HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN CONTROL AND OUTTA CONTROL, SO FUCK YOU BITCH ASS HO’S!!!

Who really cares of who has been around since back in the day. What did you get for being around the longest?? The homeboys that started the shit are either dead, locked up or if they are really lucky, veteranos. You know who are the real G’s and are still around?? The damm homeowners, they got papers to show that they own their shit. They got money coming in from those who rent those houses or are saving money from what they don’t they pay in rent. And if you aren’t smoked up yet from all the shit you put in your body, take time and learn from what the veteranos are saying. The veteranos have been there and done that. The only fucked up part is that some of you knuckle heads are so damm stubborn that you got to go though some crazy shit only to realize that the veteranos where right all along.
Well said Oso..

I thought they took off the greenlight last year???
Just curious, why does one maravilla gang cross out another maravilla gang?? i would think you guys would just make a power house gang and take over.. The only thing i can think of is politics..
why does one MV gang cross out another MV?? I would think you guys would have each others back.
At one time in the early 90’s there was a peace treaty but like many..they get broken and thus you have an endless war with countless victims and losses..the only one making money is the guy at the morgue.
