- I shot this in 1986 with an 8mm video camera. I just drove up and down Whittier Blvd. in East Los Angeles a couple of times with the camera running. The old Golden Gate theater was still standing at the time, and the Whittier Blvd. Arch was still fairly new.

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.
therodz8 is that the same cemetery they filmed the ending of mask, with Cher
my dad had a photography studio on Brooklyn n Ford . Rubens photography studio
Fukin loser
God Bless you brother
How much did you sell it for at that time
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.
That was a good year I was 26 married serving the lord 🙏 asking everyone if they would accept Jesus Christ into their hearts 💕!
1 dollar chinese food. And I'm hungry right now. How do I get to 1986?
expect cat in that dollar meal.
The right amount of sweet and sour sauce, you don't even know the difference.
Lol
DammitDia hahahahah
Paige Here! Im pretty sure the Flux Cap is the one Doc Brown used for time travel. Just wouldnt want anyone to use the wrong capacitor and hurt themselves or anyone else😏
Mis hijas tenían 5 y 3 años vivía en pico Rivera 🥰😍Dios bendiga California
Yes, God bless California
It really hasnt changed all that much. It would really be something if it were Whittier Blvd in 1950 or 60!
My thoughts as well..the only thing that has changed are the store names and car models.
Apparently, but it has change more than you think.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 i live here all my life and believe me nothing has changed rarely they have updated school buildings or added or changed stores but nothing nothing has changed
@@tinkerbell2882 I know what you mean.
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

xdesoex Orale born in 76 raised in East Los went to Garfield too.. we witnessed the mean streets of East Los back in the 80s and 90s
Anybody go to humpheys
Right here big dog
@@christopherrios6793 Humphreys ave, Griffith and Garfield....what years homie?
Brooklyn Elementary, Griffith Jr. High, Garfield Bulldogs
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 .
What years?
Whittier blvd where you can find just about anything you needed and wanted.
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.
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.
wonder if the dollar chinese food passed the health inspection
Probably was no health inspector
For $1 who cares?
Cool video! Alot of the buildings back then are still there today!
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.
"Now" that home. Miss u East Los...
Javier Barajas whats now
Best comida in ELA
1984 GHS Bullodog here! Nothing has changed, except many homeless people up and down Whittier Blvd.
Yea you ain’t lying. Gang of tents everywhere down the bully
@@swervv2957 right. Even in front of the social security office. How was that even possible.🤷♂️
TACOS over 5 Zillion Sold
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!
It portrayed the teacher from Garfield but didn't most of the scenes come from Roosevelt?
My girlfriends moms house was Guadalupe's house. Man, that house was a east los house for sure.
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.
Everybody knows Arrys is king over here!
Yellow and black shop always tripped me out! RIP Solutions music shop
I bought some records at that location
oh how LOVED crusing Whitter Blvd at night all kinds of fine ass guys I from Crown Town 45miles east of East Los
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!
86 I lived on Williamson and Whittier Blvd right across the Kmart and target shopping center great times, thanks for the video compa!
I wasn't too far from you. I was off hoefner. Now I see that area of Whittier Blvd is now the new cruise hot spot.
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
Your parents did a good thing that year was horrible in Los Angeles all the way from Long Beach to South Central 2 East Los
Thanks bro I also heard West LA (Rampart / Westlake / Pico Union) was the worst. LA was hell back in those days but LA will always be Home and birth place
And those were good times.
@@ibestrokin probably because the 710 getaway
@@stevelozano9523 never heard of that what, was the 710 get away?
Wow Music Solutions on Whittier Blvd... I bought my first electric guitar there. That music store was cool, it had everything.
2:06 Orale Fraser Ave! Born in 73 lived on Fraser but moved out in 2003.. miss my hometown!
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!
I grew up their in the 80s, went to Lorena elementary, a lot of memories from good times.
My wife went to Lorena Elementary. I went to Ford Blvd.
born n raised ELA. whittier blvd hasnt changed. looks like it did back then. nothing better than ELA familia.
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!
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
It’s really awesome to see the street that you live near whittier blvd in the 80s
Good old days. I remember going there to buy my shoes at Rogers Shoes. Love them half suede shoes.
EAST L.A./BOYLE HEIGHTS !!! 👍😎💯💙
@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.
Miss them low-riding days up on Whittier Boulevard
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.
Mannn this where my heart is
Chingon
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 👍
I'm here to see if I was recorded. Miss those days.... Those days, not these new days in CA tho....
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
AWSOME video......thanks for sharing
Born & raised in LOS. Grew up on S Alma Ave & Olympic Blvd. Crazy ass times, no place like the calles of LOS.
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..
Which schools did you attend
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)
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...!
You can see the Golden Gate theater in 1:55 on the right!
It's now a pharmacy
Raul Ledesma they really destroyed history
I remember going to that theater once before they knocked it down. It was so infested with rats, I dont even think we stood for the whole movie. Maybe it was a 3D movie of Rats 😂. But I loved Jim's Burger that was behind it.
Thanks for sharing!
el pedorrero muffler haha still there but it's not the same... love east los
The owner of El Pedorrero was an Argentine married to a Mexican gal. She cheated on him and their whole situation played out on probably the first Spanish language reality show. (Back in the 90’s) The owner seemed like a decent man. El Pedorrero 😂🤣😂that place was so amazing, loud, colorful. ICONIC.
I born in East LA grow up.💙 MY OL SKOOL 80's STYLE🤗🤗💙💙💞💞
Gotta love it. What part

Did you feel safe?
Glad to see things havent changed much :-)
Yeah the $1 Chinese food wasn't what you're thinking.. It was $1 for every side you ordered.. It still came out to about $3-$5.
I used to live a few blocks from El Pedorrero. I miss East L.A

wow!! cool video the only tht has changed is now there is a lot more. Mexicans on the streets now..
1:42 RTD, love that bus.
I used to cruise on Whittier Blvd. in '65, then I became a bus driver, and those buses were the first ones to kneel down for disabled people so I used to lower it besides the low riders hahaha...it was so much fun, but now it's not the same, I used to go and eat at Porky's on McBride Ave., they had the best carnitas in ELA but I went a couple of years back and it's incredible how it has changed, I walked in, I looked and got the hell out of there, not like before, this place was always packed.
still looks like the 1980s over their in East Los
GrassLok lol it does
I used to live few block from El Pedorrero!!! Good times
i love crusing down whitter on sundays with my bf i love the vibe n
ITS NOW 2022 AND THINGS HAVE CHANGES MUCH
Thank You
Uh-oh..it got worse, not better, and we used to like this song!
It was a shitshow in 86 that just got worse.
When I saw this I said " I hope I dont see my crazy teen mom" lmao
It looks just like Mexico.
This looks like a scene from the "The Warriors" movie.
The only thing that changed is the price of Chinese food.
You were Not happening-I want to see cruising @- old school, only on Whittier Blvd., East LA.- Awesome parties old school :)
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
Ford Maravilla?
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.
Sorry, no.
@@GShubin thank you.
I had to stop and watch this video to see if I saw I and my mother walking inside el carabeo Furniture Store.... if you don't have no good East LA memory you ain't from Los Angeles.. straight from the Harbor Area

Sou BR é deixo a minha bandeira aqui 🔰🚩....
I grew up on these streets..
The Tommy's burger joint on Eaperanza st and Whittier blvd were bomb af!
The chilli fries were so good as well😋
The song is older than the video. Lived in East Los for two years.
Yep, 21 years older.
Name of song?
After work (3 to 11 shift) used to go to PACHECO'S club on Atlantic blvd...Nice women...
Blvd cruising around was way better in late 60s
How so, just curious?
...but I bet it was.
@@swervv2957 Hi there
In my days of cruising no one got out of their car it was just great seeing friends and others. There were car clubs my favorite was The Klique. No violence just a lot of fun. I'm sure others will say it was better later thru the years.
Anyway Peace ✌️ to all
super awesome!!
Oh, the GarMar movie theater. That French restaurant. The Italian deli THAT STILL THERE!
That's was in Montebello, Whittier and Garfield
That's right! Ese!! L.A/E.L.A RIDER ALL THE WAY💯.
Fuck ELA
Looks so different now. 💯
MET MY WIFE JULY 5,1984 PANTS COUNTRY WHITTIER AND ATLANTIC
Sorry to hear that (just kidding).
What a magical time. Shitty cars, shitty clothes, shitty pelos 💇♂️ and not a frown around. People were actually contentos... complete opposite now
You’re right, a lot of incredibly rude, miserable mal encarados. Decency and honor are not really a “thing” anymore, it’s rare. I wonder what happened to make people change?
@@Rosemary-op3rz probably the internet man. shit be brainwashing people
Beautiful
Born in South Whittier 1979✌
That doesn't count ese
What is the oldest and still around Chicano gang in Whittier?
White fence and Maravilla
