Whittier Blvd 1986 

I was 9 years old in 86', i use to walk up and down Whittier Blvd from Ford blvd to Atlantic... I grew up in East Los, the last image was carnitas michoacan on Soto and Whittier my teen age years in that area(boyle heights) they had the best nachos with carne asada it sucks that it was torn down to bring up a fucken Panda Express

My Mom graduated from Montebello High (what's now the Jr. High building) in 1945. I graduated from Montebello in 1966. "Whittier Blvd." by Thee Midnighters came out in 1965. A whole lot has changed since then. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

ON THAT YEAR IN 1986 ... MY 4TH CHILD WAS BORN .... i SOLD MY HOUSE THAT WAS ON BROOKLYN AVE ACROSS THE CEMETERY AND MOVE TO A DUPLEX ON 3RD AND SAVANNAH AND AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTH I PURCHASE A HOUSE IN PICO RIVERA WHICH IS ABOUT 3 OR 4 MILES EAST ... AND I'M STILL LIVING HERE.

Mis hijas tenían 5 y 3 años vivía en pico Rivera 🥰😍Dios bendiga California

I was 4 years old in 1986 and now i live on these same streets shop at the same stores in this videos wow amazing

I grew up down the street from Whittier Blvd. In the M projects. Changed just a little. Haven't been there for a few yrs .

Oh wow!! I you can almost say the golden years of ELA. I lived in ELA since the 70’s finally got my own place some where else.

That was a good year I was 26 married serving the lord 🙏 asking everyone if they would accept Jesus Christ into their hearts 💕!

EAST L.A./BOYLE HEIGHTS !!! 👍😎💯💙

Cool video! Alot of the buildings back then are still there today!

Wow, La National, La Popular, Johnson's market, boulevard theater, Alameda theater, golden gate theater, pacific national bank, musical latina, silver dollar. I miss the old days. It's all gone.

"Now" that home. Miss u East Los...

Whittier blvd where you can find just about anything you needed and wanted.

I listened to all kinds of music in the mid-60's & really liked this tune, but in 1966, Whittier Blvd. didn't look like this. I went to Montebello Jr & Sr High, as did my dad, & the same ice cream shop & pizza place were there for both of us. (weird huh?) I LOVED growing up next to Rio Hondo River since it had so many places to go horse back riding. It was right in the middle of the mts. & the beach, go either way. What memories this video brought back!

1 dollar chinese food. And I'm hungry right now. How do I get to 1986?

86 I lived on Williamson and Whittier Blvd right across the Kmart and target shopping center great times, thanks for the video compa!

Yellow and black shop always tripped me out! RIP Solutions music shop

A yr later the big earthquake in Whittier. 1987. Crazy that morning at 7:42 am. I was 6 yrs old with 10 months and 19 days when I lived this earthquake. Second grade.

It really hasnt changed all that much. It would really be something if it were Whittier Blvd in 1950 or 60!

I grew up their in the 80s, went to Lorena elementary, a lot of memories from good times.

1984 GHS Bullodog here! Nothing has changed, except many homeless people up and down Whittier Blvd.

AWSOME video......thanks for sharing

TACOS over 5 Zillion Sold

oh how LOVED crusing Whitter Blvd at night all kinds of fine ass guys I from Crown Town 45miles east of East Los

wonder if the dollar chinese food passed the health inspection

It’s really awesome to see the street that you live near whittier blvd in the 80s

2:06 Orale Fraser Ave! Born in 73 lived on Fraser but moved out in 2003.. miss my hometown!

born n raised ELA. whittier blvd hasnt changed. looks like it did back then. nothing better than ELA familia.

Wow Music Solutions on Whittier Blvd... I bought my first electric guitar there. That music store was cool, it had everything.

Minute 2:07 ... Fraser Ave. I grow up 3 houses off of Whittier Blvd to the right. Born in 75 lived on Fraser Ave till 2013.. Orale!

Thanks for sharing!

Mannn this where my heart is

Who knew that this video would bring back so many memories. I grew up on So. 19th. St. from '63 to '71. Crystal's coffee shop, Jim's Market, Washington Elementary.... Too many other's to mention or remember.

Born & raised in LOS. Grew up on S Alma Ave & Olympic Blvd. Crazy ass times, no place like the calles of LOS.

I wish I grew up in the 80s .Damn I was born in East LA in 1993 but my parents moved us to North Carolina

Good old days. I remember going there to buy my shoes at Rogers Shoes. Love them half suede shoes.

It looks like there was less people back then. Now you see food trucks and garbage now at days

This was right around the time the movie “Stand and Deliver” was released - it came out two years after this video (1988) and features Garfield High School!

The song that is featured in this clip is very reminiscent of a band called The Haunted and a track of theirs called ‘Twist’. Great to see the footage...!

Cool music. Was looking for my dad's hardware store 3828 E. Whittier Blvd. by Salazar (Laguna) Park. Video does not go that far west on the Blvd. but still cool video!

Glad to see things havent changed much :-)

Man that really brought back memories! El pedorrero and 3 hermanos on Whittier Blvd. I grow up on Fraser Avenue half a block away from Whittier Blvd.. minute 2:06 La Foca restaurant on the corner of Fraser and Whittier 👍

Those were the good old days..

I was born 1980 in EAST LOS and was brought up walking whittier blvd.. i also cruzed down whittier blvd a few times..

Miss them low-riding days up on Whittier Boulevard

to gshubin Whittier blvd got another cool tune by Dick Dale and the Daletones was a cool cruise . I cruised van nuys blvd in the early 60s thanks for vid brother ripple-red

I was living in Santa Fe springs at this time. My school actually took us on a field trip to the Norwalk jail, great day

Thank You

wish I knew about the culture growing up so close to there in sfs. I would’ve spent much more time in LA. My dad is from east LA and met my mom when she got here from Mexico at 18 y.o. Living in the IE now but this makes me miss living closer to LA. (I’m only 20)

I grew up in Montebello in the 1980's and I remember Cronis the hot dog (1' 47 " in the video) stand being better than arry's burger. But not by much. Actually Arry's had better pastrami. But Cronis chilli dogs were amazing.

@1:18 - I remember all those Dr. Gettas flyers in the mail / rolled up rubber-banded to the fence. Ha, the little things that will take you back.

I'm here to see if I was recorded. Miss those days.... Those days, not these new days in CA tho....

I born in East LA grow up.💙 MY OL SKOOL 80's STYLE🤗🤗💙💙💞💞

I remember that Tommy's on Esperanza and Whittier their chili cheese fries were the best lol we used to all pitch in after school Stevenson Middle school :)

I used to live a few blocks from El Pedorrero. I miss East L.A

The theater on Brooklyn we used to go there all the time

I grew up on Duncan and whittier from Humphreys elementary to Garfield high.

@tiranchula Edward Olmos graduated in 1964, just as I was ending my sophomore year. I graduated in 1966.

When I saw this I said " I hope I dont see my crazy teen mom" lmao

Thanks for the video. Do you have any video of Whittier Blvd and Alma st.? A friend is looking for a shot of his father's hardware store.

el pedorrero muffler haha still there but it's not the same... love east los

@tiranchula amen!

awww

This looks like a scene from the "The Warriors" movie.

I was born in 1968 and I’m from Bay City Michigan and I moved to LA by Santa Monica in 1986 when I was 17 years old, and I remember going with an old friend named Emilio who’s from Holland Michigan and he was an old roommate who just moved too, but he had an aunt and uncle who used to lived in Boyle Heights LA by Whittier Blvd and Boyle Ave near the 6th street bridge and me and him we would get $1 Chinese food and it was bomb, it’s sucks now we lost in touch in 1988 when he moved out and got married and I stayed at the apartment until 1992 when me and my wife got married in 1996 and bought a house in Beverly Hills CA, it was fun those memories I even took my wife to get $1 Chinese food lol I just wish I would see Emilio again but I don’t know where the whereabouts he his haha and now I’m 52 years old

✌🏼

still looks like the 1980s over their in East Los

Oh, the GarMar movie theater. That French restaurant. The Italian deli THAT STILL THERE!

The only thing that changed is the price of Chinese food.

Born in South Whittier 1979✌

Uh-oh..it got worse, not better, and we used to like this song!

MET MY WIFE JULY 5,1984 PANTS COUNTRY WHITTIER AND ATLANTIC

The song is older than the video. Lived in East Los for two years.

La McBride Ave/Whittier Blvd that’s the spot. Few dare to enter and if you did you better have had some family living there
