Musings about Lucky St.
Posted by Portrait| Los Angeles Skid Row (Los Angeles, United States) on 3 August 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
How Lucky do you think you are?
Lucky St is actually Winston St. It is one block from Central City Police Station, and according a manager at the non-profit Saint Vincent's Mission "there is a whole new breed of gang that claimed winston st in the last week of August 07. They are very young and very dangerous. They carry cameraphones, and document the random beatdowns and killings. "
Lucky St?
Well, guess I need to go see this new hi-tech, hybrid style of skid row gangster.
I have seen them all come and go...most of them land in jail, it is just a short trip to Los Angeles Twin Towers.

First Notes:
1) So I went over to Winston St to see what all the buzz was about. A young girl about 17-18 is calling the shots. African-American, long light brown wig, white wife beater tee shirt, basketball shorts rolled way low, and they sag deep enough to be cute.. That is how cute is gangster cute ?
Straight out of a MTV video...this is what I call the branding of the urban ganster.
