After riding the blue line for a while I think I have a pretty good idea of which different gangs claim territory along the line. Now I’m no expert, so don’t get all beanie weanie if your in a gang and also a big fan of this blog and I leave your gang off the list. All I can say is that you should probably get busy with the spray paint can and make your gang a little more recognizable to the average metro passerby.

Moving away from downtown towards south central it seems to go like this as far as gangs: 

1) 38th Street 

2) Florencia 13

3) Pueblo Bishop Bloods

4) Oriental Lazy Boyz

5) Avalon Crips

6) 109s

Now that’s what I’ve seen from reading the walls, but, like I said, I’m sure I’m missing a lot. Now, here’s the real question. Which one should I join? I’ll probably organize a get to know you day meet and greet where I invite some of the fellas over for my chili and a Law and Order marathon so we can see if there’s a fit. 

Actually, in all truth, most of the people along this line seem like real, honest, hardworking people that keep up their homes and take pride in their neighborhoods. I’m sure there are gangsters out there, but I get the feeling they are outnumbered by regular folks trying to get by and make ends meet.
