VARRIO IRIS AVENUE

VARRIO IRIS AVENUE 13 INSANE FAMILY

-a fictional story-

I DON'T KNOW NADIE FROM IRIS AV PERSONALLY, SO I'M JUST TRYING TO POST SOMETHING UP HERE IN THE SOUTH SIDE HISTORICAL RECOGNITION PAGES. WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF IRIS AVENUE WAS SOMETIME BACK WHEN I'D RIDE THE TROLLEY LINE FROM SIDRO TO WOP TOWN AND VISIT MY FAMILY. THEN LATER WHEN I MOVED DOWN TO THE SOUTH BAY, I STARTED HEARING STORIES OF THEM IRIS AVENUE LOKOS RIDING HARD. FROM THEN UNTIL NOW, I KEEP HEARING THE SAME, EITHER OLD STORIES OR NEWER TAG-BANGING. IRIS IS STILL THERE IN IT'S ORIGINAL GROUNDS FOR SURE.

VARRIO IRIS AVENUE 13 INSANE FAMILY I’VE READ HAD IT’S BEGINNINGS WITH A CRAZY CROWD FROM THAT SAME GENERAL AREA THAT WENT BY THE NAME OF FCW (FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD). FCW WAS THERE IN THOSE GROUNDS SINCE BACK IN THE 1980’s. FCW OG’s ARE SAID TO HAVE COME FROM OR HAD CONNECTS WITH THE WORLD-WIDE FCW CHAPTERS FROM CHICAGO, NEW YORK, MIAMI, SEATTLE, LOS ANGELES, AND THEN FCW LANDED HERE IN SAN DIEGO’s SOUTH SIDE IRIS AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD. FCW WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN MADE UP OF ALL RAZAS; PUERTO RICANS, CHICANOS, NEGRITOS, PINOYS AND HUEROS. OVER TIME THIS DIDN’T FLY WELL IN THE CHICANO WORLD POLITICS FOR A VARRIO IN THIS PART OF TOWN, SO THAT FCW HAD TO BE PUT BY THE WAYSIDE,AND THEN VIA ROSE UP IN ITS PLACE AS A FULL-FLEDGED SURENO VARRIO IN THE 1990s.

IRIS AVE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SMALL IN COMPARISON TO ALL THEIR ENEMIES AROUND LIKE DEL SOL TO THEIR EAST (ON THE EAST SIDE OF BEYER BLVD), SIDRO TO THE SOUTH (SOUTH OF THE 905), AND NESTOR TO THE WEST (WEST OF THE I-5). VARRIO IRIS AVENUE MORE OR LESS FALLS IN-BETWEEN ALL THOSE SMALL STREETS BOUNDED BY THE TROLLEY/TRAIN TRACKS ON THE EAST, THE 905 FREEWAY ON THE SOUTH, AND CORONADO AVENUE TO THE NORTH. IT’S A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH HAS SEVERAL MOBILE HOME PARKS AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES NEXT TO SOME STREETS WITH SINGLE HOME RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND THE SAN DIEGO PD SOUTHERN DIVISION RIGHT DEAD SMACK IN THE MIDDLE., SO MAYBE THAT’S HOW COME THEY HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL THE RAZAS LIVING HERE. IT’S A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD SURROUNDED BY THE FREEWAYS AND BUSINESS PARKS AND WAREHOUSING BUILDINGS. BUT THIS IS WHERE IRIS AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD LIVES ON.

NO DISRESPECT TO NESTOR 19 ST, THE VARRIO IMMEDIATELY TO THEIR WEST, WHO SOME PEOPLE CLAIMING STATE THAT IRIS AVENUE IS PART OF THEIR ZONE, HOWEVER THAT IS NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT. WHAT I MEAN IS THAT WHILE ON THE CITY MAPS TRACT, THE COMMUNITY OF NESTOR EXTENDS ALL THE WAY TO THOSE SAME IRIS R&R TRACKS, HOWEVER, THE NESTOR “VARRIO GANG” HAS NEVER EVER EXTENDED THAT FAR EAST PAST THE 5 FREEWAY. THEREFORE NO, IRIS AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NEVER EVER BEEN PART OF VARRIO NESTOR.

THE IRIS NEIGHBORHOOD GREW UP IN THE 1970’s, THAT’S WHY SAN DIEGO CITY PLANNERS DECIDED UPON AN IRIS TROLLEY STATION THERE IN 1981 INSTEAD OF ON CORONADO AVENUE. THAT’S HOW MUCH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD GREW UP AND THEN THE WHOLE CRAZYNESS IN THAT AREA BLEW UP IN THE 1980’s WITH FCW AND OTHERS LIKE IDM AND UBC, PLUS THE SYCO POSEE ALL BEING AROUND THERE OR GOING TO SCHOOL RIGHT THERE AT IRIS AT SOUTHWEST JUNIOR HIGH (DEFUNCT). SOME FCW, IDM, UBC EVEN STARTED GOING BY THE NAME “INSANE FAMILY” A NAME WHICH SURVIVES IN THE VIA13 INSANE FAMILY CLIQUE NAME OF THE 1990’s. NOW IT’S BEEN 3 DECADES AND IxA IS STILL STANDING ON THOSE GROUNDS.

I WISH I HAD MORE TO ADD, BUT LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW ANYONE FROM IRIS, BUT I DO HEAR THAT THEY ARE A SMALL BUT TIGHT-KNIT CLAN.

Zone / Territory

DEL SOL BARRIO IS AT THE CROSS-ROADS OF SOUTH SAN DIEGO. IT IS LOCATED RIGHT IN-BETWEEN ALL THE OTHER MAJOR COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY. CHULA VISTA AND OTAY TO THE NORTH; IMPERIAL BEACH, NESTOR AND PALM CITY TO THE WEST; SAN YSIDRO TO THE SOUTH, AND OTAY MESA TO THE EAST. SO, IF YOU WANT TO GET AROUND FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER VIA THE STREETS DOWN HERE, IT WILL MORE THAN LIKELY TAKE YOU THROUGH SOME OF DEL SOL’S STREETS.

THE MAIN CORE OF DEL SOL VARRIO RUNS PARALLEL ALONG THE STRETCH OF DEL SOL BLVD, FROM THE 805 FREEWAY ON THE EAST ALL THE WAY TO BEYER BOULEVARD ON THE WEST, AND FROM THE 905 FREEWAY ON THE SOUTH ALL THE WAY NORTH TO PALM AVENUE. THAT’S A REAL NICE CHUNK OF TERRITORY WHICH DEL SOL CONTROLA! BUT IN THIS LARGE ZONA THERE’S MORE THAN A FEW LITTLE STAND-ALONE SECTIONED OFF NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS, WHICH IF THESE WERE LOCATED ANYWHERE ELSE, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE IN LA, OR IN SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO, EACH ONE OF THOSE LITTLE AREAS COULD EACH HAVE EASILY BEEN VARRIOS OF THEIR OWN.

DEL SOL ZONE NEIGHBORHOOD IS A MECCA FOR PARTIES; THERE’S ALWAYS SOME BORLOS GOING ON IN THAT ZONE. MAYBE THAT’S WHY THERE’S SO MANY WRITER KREWS ALWAYS BOMBING AROUND THERE AS WELL, AND DON'T FORGET ~> DEL SOL’s NEIGHBORHOOD IS ALSO HOME TO OUR OTHER BROWN RAZA ~> THE PINOYS ADDING THEIR OWN FLAVOR AS WELL.

OVER TIME, A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO CLAIM THIS OR THAT HAVE COME AND GONE FROM THESE TERRENOS, BUT IT WAS SIMPLE MATH; IF THEY GREW UP AMONG DEL SOL, THEN THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY GET FOLDED INTO DEL SOL, BUT IF NOT, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET EVICTED, BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT WORKS JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE AND JUST LIKE IN EVERY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN A YOUNG CROWD, A TAGGER KREW, A LOKOS CLIKA Y WHOMEVER ELSE ~> THEY EVENTUALLY GET BROUGHT INTO THE LOCAL OLD VARRIO OR ELSE; YA SABES!

FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONCE UPON A TIME STAND ALONE RUFF CITY 13, FORMERLY A TAGGER CLIQUE BORN IN THE 1990’s KNOWN THEN AS THE SOUTH SIDE ROUGHNECKS, A.k.a. ROUGH RIDERS. BUT THEN SSR FORMALIZED AND STARTED BANGING AS THE RUFF CITY LOCOS AROUND THE YEARS 2000/2001. RCLS THEN GOT NUTTIER AND STARTED HAVING SOME MAD PLEITOS WITH DEL SOL AND WITH THE PALM CITY LOCOS, AS WELL AS WITH THE CRAZY ASS (LATINOS) LOCOS. SOMETIME AFTER ALL THOSE BEEFS STARTED HAPPENING ON THE REAL, THEY GOT THE GREEN LIGHT AND WERE BLESSED WITH THE 13 TO BECOME FULL-FLEDGED SOUTH SIDERS. A FEW YEARS LATER RC13 CLIQUED UP WITH DEL SOL AND FOR A TIME THEY WOULD HIT UP THE WALLS TOGETHER, BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THEY WENT AT IT AGAIN WITH EACH OTHER; YOU COULD EVEN READ IT ON THE WALLS WITH THEM BOTH CROSSING EACH OTHER OUT ON THOSE VERY SAME WALLS ON WHICH JUST RECENTLY BEFORE, THEY HAD BEEN HITTING UP TOGETHER. THEN ALL THAT SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN SQUASHED AND RC13 WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO DEL SOL, BUT AS A CLIQUE THIS TIME. ONE THING IS FACT FOR SURE, AND THAT IS THAT RUFF CITY IS TECHNICALLY WITHIN DEL SOL’s TERRITORY (EAST OF PICADOR BLVD, ALONG DEL SOL BLVD), THEREFORE IT WAS LOGICAL FOR THE ONCE ROUGH RIDERS TO HAVE EVOLVED WITH THE TIMES, GOING ON THROUGH THE PAINS NECESSARY AND FINALLY SETTLING DOWN AS THEE NOTORIOUS DEL SOL 13 RUFF CITY LOCOS CLIQUE, SO I'VE HEARD.

NO DOUBT AT ALL THAT DEL SOL MUST BE ONE OF THE MOST CONSISTENT ACTIVE VARRIOS IN THE STREETS OF SOUTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Y TAMBIEN ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC WALL WRITERS. I THINK, NEXT TO OTAY X3, SIDRO AND OTNC, DEL SOL NEVER STOPS HITTING UP THE WALLS. EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU’RE BOUND TO SEE FRESH NEW DEL SOL HIT UPS, AND IF YOU RIDE THROUGH AND STRIKE UP YOURS, BE TRUCHA BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW; AT THE VERY LEAST, REST ASSURED THAT YOURS WILL BE CROSSED OUT BY THE NEXT MORNING. THAT’S HOW MUCH DEL SOL PATROLS THEIR ZONE, AND WELL, THE NEWS WHICH ARE ON THE HISTORY PAGES TELLING THE TALES OF SOME OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS DEL SOL HOMEBOYS IN RECENT DECADES IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ALREADY, SO THERE’S NO NEED TO GET INTO ESA CONVERSACION RIGHT HERE, I THINK (?) BUT FOR HISTORY PURPOSES, ORALE PUES ESE, IF YOU WANT, PONLE! OTHERWISE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE VARRIO HISTORY IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

ANYWAYS, THERE’S A LOT OF DOWN FIRME RAZA IN DEL SOL, AND IT IS A WELL RESPECTED VARRIO AMONG DIEGO's SOUTH SIDERS. FACT!
