My youth 70s/80s, a cholo on the calles, looking for action! Creased khakis, collared shirt (creased in front, and back), shoes shined like glass, hair combed, I was walking on cloud 9....rucas looking fine, smelling good,.....those were the days....now as I approach 60, all I have are memories..
I’ll be 60 in 3 weeks. King and story before they outlawed cruising. Kikinit in the 510 nowadays being a punker and touring with a band I f wit. Life is good Homies, one day at a time with an attitude of gratitude. I pray whoever reads this well till toe tags😎❤️🔥🔥💯
Homies this brings me so many memories early 90s I was 14 years old crushing downs the Bristol and Edinger Santa Ana ca bring me those moments back Homes
I just turned 60,and i must say those were the days cruising the boulevard back in the early 80's.Man, i miss those days .Puro desmadre,pero i wouldn,t trade those times for nothing.I,m so glad i made it through to remember the memories.
My family first came to the mission back in the 50’s and we still reside out here ✊🏽. I’m a 2nd generation SF native. Being 24 years old I personally wasn’t able to experience the hoods golden era but at least I can watch videos and hear stories about it. Got to personally experience the last remnants, sad to see how it is now. Literally night and day but regardless i’m a proud missionero 💯
Man they don't make um firme like that anymore, smiled the whole time. Miss my teen years don't know how I got to this video but thank you because I needed to smile today. ❤❤❤
I grew up in the Mission when all the low rider and cholo scene started like in 1978. Over night all my Latino homies turned into chili’s and including me and I Chinese. Mission on weekend nights were exciting and everyone heading to 24th. to hangout. Also, lots of stupid stuff went on like fighting others that were from other barrios, At a young age when many were still kids, but trying to act like adults and didn’t have the wisdom to not sweat the small stuff,. Killing one so third hurt bc they grew up in another neighbor their parents chose snd over something small like mad dogging one another. It’s like toad rage without driving a car. Well, I’m glad I got out before I got stuck and took a different path from all my homies. After a homies put a knife on my neck, I realized that’s not the life I want for myself. Yeah it was fun and exciting at the beginning when you still were going to school, but what you gonna do after you finish school and how you gonna get a job support yourselves?! That’s when it got bad and reality set in. Most of us were not really prepared for adulthood.
lowrider por vida here...cruising back in the 70's into the 80's on main street in santana oc orange county socal....santa ana oc bumper to bumper cruising my days.....still got my chuco52 chevy bel air hard top deluxe....
I was a dirty white boy from the Sunset Dist in the 80s but considering I was mixed I hung out with people in the Mission, great time back then. Ya I wore boots, Bens and a Derby jacket but homies in the mission didn't care.
V-V-T Varrio Viente Tres-23RD and Alabama and the Puente Vista locos-Tiny Malditos-The good old days in The Mission. Brings back so many good memories of a beautiful time with no cares in the world. To all the Homeboys from back in those days I hope you find yourselves doing well.PVL'SSleepyDroopySpiderChapoWeaselBig HappyLil SmileyBig SmileySteweyChucoRojoRatonLil OSO ChivoNanoMOUSE
I grew up with this music bc of my Carnal "s, the five oldest if we could only go back to the good Ole days were everyone hanging at the parks we use to be able to drink at park's and most of all the nice righteousness Haspinc, Latino, Latina, go to other city's enjoying Laughlin, Smiley meeting other people out of barbecues, party's I can go on but one question I have no names but why they say let the pass go.
@@barlberanray thank you Paisan for doing this..I was married to a chola during this time and we lived up by 29th St..we weren't riders or anything but just used to walk from like 30th to 16th, just taking in the whole scene..No fights, no acting out much, just people having a cool time..Folks who live here now have no idea what we talking about.Bellisimo
I was born in the 50's SF lived in the Mission until the 80's. Remember "Los Siete" which started "La Raza". Remember when the low riders start coming into the Mission from San Jo in the early 70's. Before low riders everything was lifted high riders with 50 series tires.Beautiful town. 24th street roots here.
Are any of you familiar with Dolores Park? That whole entire neighborhood back there is reputed to be HAUNTED... Cuz I used to attend Mission High School back in the 1990's, and both me and my fellow classmates (plus a few teachers and staff) have all seen a ghost there on the 4th floor... The ghost is that of a former teacher or student who usually appears to students who are in their Senior year or to janitors working there late at night. There are like some supply rooms and a few old disused classrooms or workshops on the 4th floor that were closed off while I was attending there back then. From the best of my memory; it appeared to look like a semi-transparent female figure of short stature, dressed in winter attire (a red and white Christmas-patterned sweater and brown bell-bottom corduroy pants), and sports a bowl-shaped pageboy hairstyle, holding a binder against her chest. She looked like someone from right out of the late 1960's or early 1970's. We couldn't quite see her face cuz she had her head down (as if she was in despair) and all her hair was covering it. This was during our lunch break period at noon, and we had noticed her standing down the hallway for quite some time. What's odd was that she was standing at the opposite end of the hallway from us, right by the stairway and away from the big glass windows that allowed for the sunlight to shine through on the 4th floor. She didn't move or even say a thing, and just stood there that whole time while we were there. It didn't strike us that she was a GHOST, until we had made our way back down to the ground floor by the courtyard area. And when we finally DID realize what we had just saw; we grew pale in the face, hauled our asses right outta there and ran all the way back to our classroom at like TWIN-TURBO SPEED!!! There are rumored to be ghosts also in the gym areas and even the locker/shower rooms as well, but I'm not gonna get into all that spooky shit. I heard that the school was built right over an Indian cemetery. Early builders who worked on building the school way back then, have even discovered the bones of Native Americans!
I went to Mission but only went there for 1-1/2 years until I dropped out. Was this only one time and if so why didn’t you try to get the girls attention and just look at her? Since you didn’t know you may have seen a ghost until you went back down stairs? Did you go back to check again or was spooked by that time? I’m sure it’s haunted, especially if it was native Americans burial ground. From what heard about SF, is that many old burial grounds were relocated without the bodies and only the headstones moved. I think that area Geary and Masonic was one area that use to be a burial ground.
Thanks for sharing your story. It could very well be built on native American burial ground. I know some year's ago they were digging in South City to build some sort of housing complexes, and they found human remains. The construction crew had to stop working. The human remains had changed history they are the oldest bones found that humans have been walking in north America longer than scientists thought humans were. Yes they have been digging up human remains all over San Francisco. Even in a back yard a construction site in a back yard found a young girl in a wood/glass coffin. The little girl was said she was buried around the 1900s when the great earth quack. Stories like these will pop up in the news paper now and then. Never heard of the Ghost story. Did you do any research about the school if there was anything saved in the San Francisco library? Would be intestine if any documents were saved. They store everything on Microsoft where now. You would have to ask a librarian in your area if they could send it to your local library to research it. You don't even have to drive to a San Francisco library to research it.
Ray, I want to deeply thank you for sharing this video. As a kid, I remember my cousins taking me along in their car a monte carlo on sundays.Video brought back memories.
man this is a dope video love to see my raza im from LosAngeles and one thing trips me out about my people there realy is no difference other than the color s you guys sport for reals raza its time to wake up stop all dat 13&14 bullshit to the side and let's ride for the BROWN.
You wanna see some surenos in the Mission back when.. I used to buy mota from these fools at Dolores Park, on RU-vid type up 19th st. Surenos San Francisco
thats before ppl that barely moved in to the neighborhood called police on you for working on your 64 in front of your house that belonged to you and family for decades🤔
Nostalgic as fuck.... I was five or six during that time... But I remember my sister my cousins all them cruisin down La Mission.... It was all good I'll love... We lived on 17th and Van Ness..
You brought me back to a time where I never got to experience this myself. The music was perfect. The videos and clips were great. Smooth transitions from beginning to end. This needs to be seen. What's the song called at the end? Thanks. #FreeLaMission
who all try to tell you the history of the Mission, as they've been here for like maybe a year or two..But they down you know? NOT....They have no idea of what it was like back then..I want to bust upside their heads so bad sometimes..
Pockets of a certain generation of them do ...ones raised in the 90s bay area. But head over to the Central Valle or up to Chico, and that's not so much the case.
