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.

ORALE, PROPS TO VARRIO IRIS AVENUE 13 INSANE FAMILIA

Who was UBC? Unique Boys? The Lokos clicka were all straight goons like FCW. Heard they are all walking the yards. Some OG Six Trey can correct this - but I was told FCW spread out to other cities from South San Diego - not the other way around. But Rumors said they were connected to 4 Corner Hustlas when they kicked off in South Side.

FCW was folded up because of scandalous things. For starters one of the OG’s is a chomo. He needed protection in the pen and offered to TCB on the streets for someone with influence. But he did the exact opposite when he paroled…snitched! One head beat up a girl for no reason during a bar brawl in the late 90’s. They were known to bully residents who couldn’t or wouldn’t fight back. But the icing on the cake is when Gente in FCW stated claiming X3 without the blessing while the Blacks, Asians, and Islanders claimed Crip. So in the late 90’s you had a weirdo X3/Crip hybrid gang running around in South San Diego. BUT WAIT! It even gets goofier…….FCW was part of the “Insane Family” confederacy. A confederacy that included a Blood gang called South Side Syco Posse. What a confused bunch they were!

Anyone claiming FCW in or after the late 90's on the street or in the pen caught the light. In the pen the order to bang FCW off the yard came down. But a few Gente from FCW refused to be banged off the yard. They took beatings and stabbings but still walked the yard and dished out the blues as well. They rode it out and didn’t bitch or snitch so they were blessed with a new varrio called IRIS AVE and the first clicka was born - LOCOS. One condition was given. FCW was to permanently disband and homies from IRIS AVE would personally TCB if dudes refused to quit claiming FCW.

I'm pretty sure they started in South San Diego (Nestor by Southwest High) and did not have connections to 4 Corner Hustlas. I do not think there were FCW "chapters" outside of SD. Members spread out from San Diego partly due to the military and parole conditions. I think a couple were deported to the Philippines. More of a relocation thing than establishing chapters. Some relocated to the Philippines, LA, Washington, Vegas, Miami, and Texas. They were probably still hustling and plugged into SD because a couple of three letter agencies were all over FCW for a while. FCW was definitely a force to be delt with in the 80's and early 90's.

Back to IRIS AVE. The LOCOS clicka put that varrio on the map. The LOCOS were brutal and ruled their kingdom with an iron fist. I don’t how things are now. I hear there is a wanna be hood claiming the area. 27 Street Spook Town? There is too much going on in that name. I can’t tell if they wanna be from Sherman or Shelltown or if they wanna be from Compton. Must be some crazy millennial or Generation Z shit.
