I lived there for like a year in Mexican Flats with the vatos, it was pretty cool, its was funny how the broadwalk goes from like 90210 to gangster in like 100 feet
I stayed there about a month ago - well not the flats but right across the river- rented a house for 3 nights - cheaper than 2 rooms at a hotel with my bunch. I miss being close to the ocean, but not the traffic. Especially during the weekend with all them "valleys" coming over. Now many of my friends up here used to be those "valleys" from San Jose area. I had friends that had lived in the flats around 89/90 they were mostly illegally here, but were hard workers. Like 10 people in a little house!
