The ORIGINAL HOOD VLOGS 💯💯💯 This is a dope ass interview! I miss the mixtape era……blend tape era.

[@dodgervision1]

Wow, small world. I was born at Kaiser in nearby Harbor City. I grew up in Wilmas 80-89 and lived on Ronan Ave, closer to Wilmington Jr. High. I went to Gulf Ave and attended tough ass Wilmington Jr High. Those Physical Education Instructors were no joke (Matsutani) but it later prepared me both mentally and physically for Marine Corp Boot Camp. My family would eat at Los 3 Cochinitos all the while my dad's Impala tires would get rotated at nearby Eddie's Tire Shop. Moreover, we would also visit the Gardena Swap Meet and the Alpine Village swap meet. Thanks for the quick History on Wilmas.

[@cosalasinaloa4067]

Good video, in late 80’s early 90’s brings me memories of when we used to visit the West side Wilmas at will-hall park then would cross town to visit the East side Wilmas on “L” street and then we would drive couple blocks to Hyatt street…it’s a trip how all 3 of those neighborhoods didn’t get along but they had one thing in common, they got supplies from the same Mexican people from Sinaloa… if you was getting your party supplies from dudes from Wilmas it was from Sinaloa.

[@blc2103]

Wow - excellent video !! The Wizard seems like a good guy, and I really enjoyed the history of Wilmington from his time of the 80s/90s. BTW - he is spot on correct that Banning High School was GREAT in sports back in the 70s/80s. A lot of D1 college scholarship athletes came out of Banning. Many of them made it to the pros. One guy who comes to mind is running back Stanley Wilson, who played college ball at OU (Sooners) and played in the NFL for the Bengals. He was a great player whose NFL career was cut short by severe drug problems.

God damn it this video was right by house! Glad you finally came to Wilmington! Went to broad avenue, wms and banning! Tbh I feel like you could’ve found more people to interview in this community. Know a few people that probably would’ve gave you really good stories about back in the day who were affiliated but turned their lives around. Which was most likely why you don’t see a bunch of gang members standing around in the hood usually
