WILMINGTON VARRIOS
EAST SIDE WILMAS
WEST SIDE WILMAS
NORTH SIDE WILMAS
THE VATO WEARING THE RED PENDLETON REPRESENTS EAST SIDE WILMAS, AND THE VATO WEARING THE BLUE REPRESENTS WEST SIDE WILMAS. . HYATT AND L STREET IS AT THE HEART OF EAST SIDE WILMAS.. AVALON BLVD DIVIDES ESW FROM WSW.. NORTH OF SEPULVEDA ALONG AVALON BLVD AS YOU HEAD INTO THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS NEIGHBORHOOD AREA THAT DIVIDE WILMAS FROM CARSON CAN BE CONSIDERED NORTH SIDE WILMAS, AND IN THE EAST SIDE ~> GHOST TOWN LIES NORTH OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY. . WILMAS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST, HARDEST AND OLDEST VARRIOS IN THE HARBOR AREA. . THEY WERE ONCE ONE HUGE VARRIO BUT WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIMES, DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFRENT FOLKS HAVE DIVIDED UP THE VARRIO AND VARRIO UNITY BECAME ALL BUT DEAD.
ONE OF THE OLDEST CLIQUES IN WILMAS IS THE "CHAIN GANG", SOME OF THE REST OF THE ESW WILMAS ARE AS FOLLOWS . . .
L STREET
MAHAR STREET BOYS
HYATT STREET LOCOS
LUMBER YARD MALOS
GHOST TOWN LOCOS
BANNING PARK LOCOS
SOME OF THE WEST SIDE WILMAS CLIKAS ARE . . .
THE OLD C STREET LOCOS AND DANA LOCOS
AND ONE OF THE HARDEST CLIKAS OF ALL WSW TIMES
~> THE WILHALL PARK LOCOS (WHPLS) ALSO KNOWN
AS THE WEST SIDE WILHALL.
THIS OLD ASS PLACASO SHOWS THE EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDE HITTING UP "UNITED". THAT'S HOW THEY WERE NOT TOO LONG AGO . . .
SAD TO HAVE SO MANY WILMAS RAZA FALL VICTIM TO THEIR OWN!
THE SAN PEDRO VERSUS WILMAS RIVALRY IS ONE OF THE OLDEST IN THE HARBOR AREA, BUT THE WSW VERSUS ESW PLEITO HAS BEEN ONE OF THE DEADLIEST BEEFS IN THE SOUTH BAY AMONGST WILMEROS.. THE NORTH SIDE WILMAS VIRTUALLY DISAPEARED BY THE START OF THE EARLY EIGHTIES, BUT I HEAR THEY STILL HAVE HEADS REPRESENTING.. THE ORIGINAL GHOST TOWN LOCOS WERE NOT ALL PART OF ESW., THEY WERE NOT THE SAME GTLS WHICH ARE A CLIKA FROM ESW IN PRESENT TIMES, THEY WERE OTHER VATOS THAT DID NOT ALL CLAIM ESW VARRIO, THEY JUST SIMPLY CLAIMED GHOST TOWN AS THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD GROUNDS AND THEY SHARED THE TURF WITH BOTH EAST SIDE WILMEROS AND WITH THE EAST SIDE PAIN BLOODS WHICH CAN STILL BE FOUND IN THE LAND.. THE WEST SIDE WILMAS WILHALL PARK LOCOS CAME OUT IN THE LATER 70s AND WENT ON TO CREATE A BIG NAME FOR THEMSELVES. WHPLS ARE STILL CARRYING STRONG.. IN THE DANA PROJECTS THE WATERFRONT PIRU’S CLAIMED THEIR SET ALL THRU THE 70s AND 80s UNTIL THE PROJECTS WERE TORN DOWN IN THE 90s.. IN THE LATE 70s AND EARLY 80s THE EAST SIDE WAS KEEPING STRONG WITH THE OLD “L STREET” LOCOS AS THE BACKBONE AND THE MAHAR STREET BOYS AS THE YOUNGER HEAVY FIREPOWER GENERATION. THE MAHAR STREET BOYS HEADQUATERED AT MAHAR AND DENNI STREET, ALL ALONG THE FRONT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: WITH ONE HUGE CROWD AND A CRAZY ONE AT THAT. THE HYATT STREET LOCOS CAME NEXT IN THE MID EIGHTIES.
^ ^ ^ ^ THIS IS HOW WILMAS BREAKS DOWN . . .
OF COURSE THE DANA STRAND PROJECTS ARE GONE NOW . . .
AND THE GHOST TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS.
