Tenían un negocio de distribución de películas como cobertura de su negocio de distribución de droga."


'Living in the mission': "Young cholo with his 1953 Chevy. Un jovencito cholo con su Chevy de 1953."


'Players only': "Playland was an old time beach front amusement park that was torn down by the San Francisco Redevelopment in the mid Seventies. These guys were hanging out at one of the concessions. El Playland fue un viejo parque de atracciones playero que fue demolido por el plan de urbanismo de los 70s. Estos tipos se juntaban en una de las concesiones."


'Shoe Shine': "Cowboys getting the shoes shined at the Cow Palace durning the Grand National. Vaqueros limpiándose las botas en el Palacio de las vacas durante el Grand National Rodeo."


'Victoria #2": "Victoria lived in a Victorian on Sutter Street near Japan Town, which was latter torn down, in a Third Hand Fantasy World. Later she met Jim McCary and moved to Laurance Kansas. Victoria vivía en una casa victoriana en la calle Sutter cerca del barrio japonés; la casa fue derrumbada después en una especie de pesadilla tercermundista. Más tarde conoció a Jim McCary y se mudó a Kansas."
