Actually, I think Flats is the old school up near Alpine Village. Been around forever. 204th is the newer set between Carson and Torrance Blvd. EST is old school too. Don't ask me how I know all this.
Yup thats exactly where it is. I was going to some guys house to buy some VW parts off him. I turned the corner and a bunch of gangsters that were on the corner started running after me. I flew around another corner and that when I heard shots. They were probably shooting in the air but that close enough for me. Needless to say I never made it to pick up the parts.

They don't play around over there anymore. It's gotten out of hand. Used to hear gunshots once in awhile at the old house. We were blocks away, but close enough. Always something going on between those three hoods.

That's where my old shop was- 91 and Harbor (Lemon). Freeway frontage across from Lowes and never a prob. It's the rest of those cities at night that are a problem...
Where's your place at? I'm down there a bunch at the La Palma / Red Gum dealio daily... You close? Love to check out your Schiada...
I live in Anaheim and that's where the boat is. Shop is right on the edge of Anaheim and Placentia. Real close to La Palma / Red Gum. I'm on the corner of Placentia Ave and Industrial way. Industrial is one street north of Crowther and I'm right across the street from HomeDepot. Stop by anytime.
I get the Anaheim is so bad, how can you live there all the time. Fact is I also have never had a problem (yet). I sure did get ripped off more then once when I lived in Manhatten Beach though.

Anybody who says Anaheim is bad doesn't live there, period. Try where we live, unincorporated Corona, Riv County Sheriff's services... 911 calls take MUCHO response time. We are lucky if they are close and avail. I work nights a ton (they call it "The Maintenance Window") and get a front row seat at the freak show. Wife doesn't like it so much. Working in town is easy. It's the desert and 'hoods that keep you on your toes... We hit that 'Depot all the time. Have to see your shop some time.
Can you say "AR-15 with a smile"???

my old neighborhood was one of the safer ones
my best friends parents still live there the place sucks but they don't want to move
