Hey Jack, it's not were but there are still a few Pachucos around kinda around Wilmington. They dress up in their zoot suits on Friday and Saturday nights.
Mexican American culture is alive and well in the south land. There are still a bunch of Low Riders around the valley too with their Charp Chevys and Oldsmobile’s.
During WW ll there were the Zoot Suit riots. U.S, Navy sailors and U.S. Army soldiers vs. the Pachucos. U.S.Marines didn't get involved much, they were saving the fight for the Japs.
Not as many low riders as there were back in the 60's and 70's. Whittier Blvd Hawthorne Blvd Nan Nuys Blvd
Let’s Take A Trip Down Whittier Blvd.........Thee Midnighters I remember cruise night on Van Nuys Blvd., great Hot Rods and Low Riders from all over town and the Central Valley.....Then one Wednesday, there were concrete barriers blocking the Boulevard and that was it after 20-30 years of great times.
My old man told me about those Pachuco Zoot Suiters when he was at Fort MacArthur waiting to be shipped out to Maui then The Pacific Theater. When the Watts riots hit he was working as a salesman downtown. He had his green 45 Auto on the front seat of his Ford Station Wagon. He always said: The first 9 are all mine!!
Fat chance, but you can always dream. Meanwhile your hero and his idiot sidekick Rudy are really in some deep do do.
the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer... greedy corporatism is ruining American... excess foreign outsourcing and foreign imports
not talking about capitalism, I am talking about greedy corporatism that is engaging in excessive foreign outsourcing and foreign imports in another decade India will control the information society, it's getting bad, talk about a national security issue
I have concern with China and India, and silicon valley-which seems to believe machines will be doing everyone's job in a few years.
and they will have India control those machines, our driverless cars, ect....., India could shut us down anytime they wanted without firing a single shot
As far as threats to the US-I rank democrats, then china, then india as threats. Dems want to surrender everything for anything.
well I guess I could say something like this than in reply trump and his supporters are like a cult and do not support anyone but the narcissistic leader with a fragile ego, they would sell out America to protect their Messiah at least we found common ground on China and India
Will generally speaking you let them burn from time to time clearing up that stuff so you don't have a raging wildfire.
What happened, the Democrats in the state legislature noticed that young people were enjoying themselves having fun cruising the boulevards. In California anytime they find something that people enjoy, they tax it. They started increasing the gas taxes in California just because some enjoyed cruising the boulevard.
