    I have a “papa cat” in my life. he was a white, 52 yr old, north carolinian man that got the nickname “gringo” ,,having worked on a masonry crew full of Mexicans. after suffering a heart attack, gringo, legally named “mark”, was kicked off the crew. with homelessness being the alternative, my father allowed him to move into my house that was at the time the residence of 6-10 teenage-young adult men. gringo offered us loads and loads of wisdom, but it was always spoken in backwards riddles as if he was a character from “Alice in wonderland”. Some things he would say were obviously the ramblings of a heavily drunk, ex-crack addicted, psychosis having, war veteran. But he did give me and all my brothers/friends a unique perspective on life.

    LIKE ALWAYS… Tommy G managed to create more content about people who chose not to follow society’s “norm” and did it in a educational manner without shaming or degrading these individuals. Consistently Tommy G is able to give us all a inside look of people that are homeless , drug addicted, law-breaking, and sometimes dangerous.. all while not putting people down or exploiting them in a negative manner.. Thank you Tommy G for being such the compassionate, nonjudgmental guy that you are! The world would be a better place if more people had a good heart like you.

I stayed in slab city during pandemic for a month or so. It truly is a mixed bag. There’s a few things of note. The history of Slab city is interesting! It was a WWII military base, then in was a bomb testing zone then it was garbage dump now it is what is today. Slab city is incredibly special place.

      This’ll probably be drowned in the comments and no one will believe me, but that’s actually my Uncle. I won’t give his name out because I respect his privacy and he’s keen on keeping it, but he’s a good dude. He’s essentially a nomad that likes, as he states at family gatherings, “following the sun.” Lots of stories I can share though.

    Always puttin out them gems Tommy!! I really like Slab City and met many incredible people from all walks of life, been out there over handful of times.. Such lovely an vibrant people. We’ll usually bring some
    goods for them, water, food and a little bit of cash.
    Love hangin with the folks and mainly to skate the gritty DIY skate spot, every time our friends and i make a trip back out there, there’s always new stuff and obstacles added into that gritty skate spot or being built as we show up, it’s sick! And ads so much more flavor into out clips we end up filming. Never a dull moment there!! 👊

      How many black people are in Slab City? How do you make money to live out there? How you get food? Where is there to live out there? Hotels? Apartments? What the cost of living like?

    As a Slabber thank you forgiving an honest view by the way Prince isn't a local he got there after me in December 2022 and is gone but there is an interesting story between him, Luis "Daddy" and the burned out minivan and a peace deal brokered by Mojo and I if you ever want to know more about that for yourself.
