DEDICATED TO L.A.

Postby Lonewolf on Wed, Feb 13 2008, 7:51 PM

From Lalo ... 40 oz saludos to all the Raza!

It is real cool that Raza from all over Califas and nationwide are hitting up this forum.

I'm directing this to those in particular who call or have called LOS ANGELES home at some point or another. Growing up in the "LOS" has always been a badge of honor for myself wherever I have lived and am sure it has been for others who have moved to other places in this country. Everywhere that I have gone, people have differing impressions of my hometown, everything from the land of palm trees and gangs, to corrupt cops and riots. Shit, I live here and I know better; those certain things about this city that DEFINE it as it is?
You know what I mean?

For me LA is going to Tommy's at 3 in the morning after being at kicking borlotes.
LA is the Belmont Tunnel (RIP).
LA is carnes asadas at Elysian Park.
LA is drinking Thunderbird under a bridge at the LA river.
LA is buying firme Ben Davis at the Santee callejones.
LA is unaturally big burritos at el Tepeyac in the East LA.
LA is Radio-Tron for you old school cabrones!

So many other things, like those time cherished places in los LA Barrios.
I use to live in the Vermont/Pico area and use to run into PLAYBOYS all the time there. Major hang out there. In my beloved Pacoima back in the days, tierra de nacimiento, we use to kick it at Hansen Dam, getting Cheech and Chonged thanx to the two Ps and a B, the Pacoima Piru Bloods. Those fools had connections.

LOS ANGELES A BADGE OF HONOR INDEED!
MY LOVE FOR YOU KNOWS NO LIMIT ....

L.A. VARRIO PARADISE…
L.A. AZTLAN’S CAPITAL…
L.A. THE ONE AND ONLY L.A. …
I BOTH LOST AND FOUND MY LIFE IN L.A. …
WHAT WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU???

JUST ANOTHER SOUL WITHOUT A CAUSE!

FROM WAY BACK IN THE DAYS … L.A. … BABY YOU GOT IT!

FROM AFTERNOON RISIN' TO THOSE LATE EARLY MORNIN' HOURS
L.A. IS THE PLACE TO BE ...

ETERNAL L.A.!!!

MY TOWN L.A. - I SALUTE YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD OLE’ MEMORIES!

FROM THE EAST SIDE TO THE WEST SIDE,
FROM THE VALLEY TO THE BAY,
FROM LA PLAYA TO LAS MONTANAS …
NOTHING COMPARES TO L.A.

EAST LOS, HARBOR LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN …
IT’S ALL L.A.

L.A. STYLE!
COME TAKE A CHANCE ON LOS!

NOSTALGIC L.A. …
WHITTIER BOULEVARD OR DELANO BOULEVARD,
CRENSHAW OR AVALON…
THE FLAT TOP MOUNT WASHINGTON OR
ROYAL PALMS’s PACIFIC OCEAN KICKBACK SPOT …
L.A. IS THE PLACE!

I REMEMBER FRESH IN MY MIND,
THOSE DAYS GROWING UP IN L.A.

SURROUNDED BY A CONCRETE JUNGLE...
LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT…
NOT WANTING TO ESCAPE…
BUT MORE LIKE WANTING TO EXPLORE.

CINCO DE MAYO?
LINCOLN PARK IS WHERE I GOTTA BE!
FIRME GENTE Y LOTS OF RAZA ...
FINE MORRITAS Y AZTEC FOLKLORE.

TRIPS TO THE BEACH? …
HEAD OUT ON THE 10 FREEWAY TO SANTA MONA AND SPEND A DAY IN THE SUN …
BOLONIA SANDWICHES AND SANDIA …
LONG LEGGED SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS WORN BY LOS HOMBRES ...
MID UPPER LEG SKIN TIGHT SHORTS AND TANK TOPS WORN BY NUESTRAS MORRAS,
MIENTRAS QUE LOS GUEROS WORE THEIR TIGHT WRAPPED NUT’HUGGERS
AND LAS GUERITAS WORE THEM ASS AND TITS SHOWING BIKINIS …
BIG TIME CONTRASTE!

HEAD OUT TO THE MOUNTAINS?
UP AZUSA ROAD TO THE RIVER...
BUT FIRST GOTTA STOP TO WATCH THE BUFFALOES ROAM AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN
BEFORE YOU HEAD UP TO FIND A GOOD SPOT TO BUILD A RIVER DAM….
GATHER SOME LOGS AND BUILD IT UP TO GET THE WATER DEEP ENUFF TO SPLASH AROUND A LIL’
BEFORE YOU BREAK OUT EL REFIN Y LAS CHELAS...

GONNA CAMP OUT?
HEAD UP TO THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS
OR TO THE ANGELES FORREST…
BE SURE TO BRING ENUFF BIRRIAS TO LAST THE NITE …
SAVE YOUR ASS A TRIP DOWN THE ROAD …
AND BE SURE TO BRING PLENTY OF YESCA …
THEN SIT UNDER THE STARS WITH YOUR HAINA TOKIN' IT UP
BEFORE YOU TAKE HER AND YOUR BLANKET TO THE LAKE SIDE…

WANNA HEAD UP TO LA MONTANA MAGICA?
LOAD UP THE RANFLAS WITH THE HOMIES AND HOMEGIRLS …
THROW A CARAVAN …
STASH SOME YERBA IN ALL YOU POCKETS … IN CASE YOU GET SCREENED …
FILL UP THEM SUPER SOAKERS FOR SUM PLAY ON THE ROAD …
STACK UP ON THEM MUNCHIES IF YOU'RE SHORT ON CASH
AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE HOMEGIRLS BEFORE YOU GET THERE …
“ALL IS FAIRâ€

Good post. I was about a 4 hour drive away from LA some years back, that is about as close to LA as I got... I'd love to go there someday.


That is true. I love el valley de tejas.

Well even if I had answered the actual question you would go on this ridiculous rant of how LA is whatever and anything I basically would say, you would argue with. What's the point?
