Not on N. Anna........

They live in SoCal. They know the area.

I grew up...on E. Redwood...right near N. Anna. I know the area. I played baseball at Edison Park...I went to school at Sycamore Jr. High. I KNOW the area.

And I also know...how it's deteriorated.

You go North of there 2 or 3 miles and one of my many brothers in law bought a crummy old 1920s house with a two acre yard that was only 60 feet wide ~ that would have been a farm field for a truck farm back in the late 1800s.

His grandmother owned what is now the Walt Disney parking lot (further South of course).

One of the family members owned a small shopping center about half way in between, and other inlaws own a business in La Habra.

Another fella' on the daughter in law's side owns a business just off Disneyland.

I have actually driven all the way around Anna Drive having first stopped at the shopping center ~ after being lost going to Nixon's Library/boyhood home.

When we go to LA or Souvrn' CA we visit dozens of people living all over the place in San Diego, LA, Orange and Riverside counties.

Lots of those places were already heavily hispanic 40 years ago!

I think people are mistaken when they think either of 2 things ~ (1) That all the hispanics arrived recently in CA, and (2) That the gang thing is a "recent" phenomenon. This has been going on for a very long time only currently there's a more open manifestation of its less desirable aspects.

That is a huge area with millions of people living in 2 and 3 story buildings ~ which makes it almost ungovernable.

Back in the 1930s there were about as many people there as there were in Louisville KY ~ and now there are several times the number you find in Chicago.

That is what is known as a MESS!

The locals were overrun and swamped by the flood of outsiders ~ but some of them are still there. My inlaws are still, in general, kind of where they were and the other old families we know are close too.

Anyone ancestral moved out of there by the late 1850s ~ back to Indiana!
