The key words here are "can be", not "is". Fortunately, I've discovered by moving elsewhere, that there actually are a number of places in the country where crime is at a very low level. The San Gabriel Valley is not the norm, thank God.

Yes "can be" is a good word I used to work at 6th and main in downtown Los Angeles.there was the SP Railroad. back in the 1981. I didn't have a car yet so I took buses. I walked,no one bothered me. I even went to the skid row to talk to them.they don't bother you. If you have this vibes like when you see a dog.dogs can feel it. So can people. I am also a small person,not even 5 feet.

I just have to know where in West Covina the home of the fictional character "Jack Horner", in the film Boogie Nights, is located. I lived close to West Covina about a decade ago, ironically, when BN was being filmed. I've read a couple of times that the home is actually in West Covina, not the SF valley, per the film's story. It's killing me as to where. I've seen the film a few times and I just can't make out the location by looking at the background. Sorry to waste your guys time in the midst of a more serious discussion on West Covina, but if any of you has the answer at the top of your head, much appreciated.

I find the racist and class driven statements I've read here to be very sad and reflective of the true mindset of So. Cal. I can remember when there was a time when being a working class person was something that wasn't looked down upon and they could actually save up and afford a home.

To infer one race is cleaner or maintain their property better than another is absurd. If I'm not mistaken we are all individuals.

I've lived in the San Gabriel Valley all my life, and I know all the areas, and as I have said before all these city's except for maybe South Pasadena, San Marino, and Bradbury have their pockets of nice areas, and impoverished areas, Long Beach is another good example, and the divide is getting worse because of the attitudes and mindsets I just spoke of.

Home ownership does not make one a better human being or give them privileges which they feel only they should deserve.

All the best.

Can't say I disagree. Have you ever read City of Quartz, by Mike Davis? Really gets into the racial and class history of the LA Basin. It's an advanced read, pretty much at grad school level (being merely a HS grad myself, I've had to re-read a few paragraphs...lol). But the point is clear and my god does it really pull LA's mask off. Davis is known as a radical but in this book he ends every chapter with thorough references. It's hard to deny.

That being said, I'd still like to know where in West Covina the house that was used in Boogie Nights is. LOL. Thanks a bunch.

Cool From The Guardian Of West Covina (Angelyce)

West Covina Has No ruling gang other than the cops, because the real power in west covina is all the independents are running around this city, and all the independents know each other and they wont hesitate to kill you worthless gang members, we are more talented, have more courage, and will never submit to any of you, maybe the good mexicans would in this city but no one else, bad mexicans are like dogs that are easily cowed into compliance by real men, and true power doesn't come from gangs, it comes from the God of this world Lucifer the morning star. Or the Lord over this Star Adonai YHWH.

Someday All of You Gang bangers are gonna get clipped, real gangsters would blow your heads off, cut out your hearts, and feed them to your punk ***** gang banging friends.

But more over than that this city has guardians, something you gang bitches would never understand, guardians protect life, stop evil, and defend the innocent even if they are weak.

And guardians, are not warriors, guardians are far more powerful, warriors take life, as do gangsters, but guardians will protect and spare your lives and worthless existence for one reason they know the true fate that awaits all of you, think of never being able to die, and having an eternal body that does not fall apart, cannot be sliced, then imagine being thrown into a flowing lake of molten magma, forever screaming never dying, with YHWH turning his loving eyes from you, and making his own precious ears deaf to your cries of

"I'm sorry, Oh God I'm Sorry, Please DOnt Leave Me Here, I'm Sorry, I'm SO SO Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Please Forgive Me, then some more screams"

You think going to church and accepting Jesus is going to save your souls, its not, only the true saviors name Yeshuah can do that, and the Roman catholic church has hidden that name from all of you, so your souls wont be saved.

And Your Varios Will put beneath boots, like they should be, your corrupted lives aren't worth a damn, and someday you will be 60 if you even live that long and you'll wake up and realize that your whole life was just a sinful existence, and I will be laughing my ass off because of it, you like all your evil friends, will discover, that while you pray and go to confession on sunday, you spit on your false grace (but you believe its real) the very next monday. and soon it will be taken from you, you will be delivered to satan himself, and left with nothing but evil to teach your children, and they will be satans servants, just as you were, and if YHWH wants to be merciful to you, he will kill your children or have them taken from you so you wont be able to corrupt their souls. I have direct knowledge of this being done to a particularily wicked man in my city named evil art, he operates with a maggot of another human that goes by the name lucifer, but Art knows the fate that is awaiting him, his daughter drowned in a pool while he was serving his mother crystal meth, and I thank YHWH for that, because had such a precious little girl been allowed to grow up under him, she would have become just as evil and would be under that same sentence he is, and it is a fate that all men and women would fear if they knew it existed

YHWH will not save you, he does not forgive the evil and wicked who repeatedly do what is evil in His sight, and refuse to turn from evil.

Not all mexicans are bad, corrupt or evil, but the majority are, you are all like a pack of worthless dogs, running around praising each thinking other stronger even more worthless dogs are the ones worthy of praise. Your Idols are murderers, liars, and thieves. You Have no honor, your fathers have no honor, and your sons and daughters will have no honor. Only the honor that you imagine yourselves to have.

Congratulations, to you and all your worthless packs, you will live your lives at the bottom of the gene barrell, and your children will be ****ed for all theirs lives by your example.

So I say **** you. You ignorant savage pups. Go crawl back to your Vario **** Holes, and leave the Few good, uncorrupted people to their good lives, YHWH will lift up their countanences. while yours will be no better than a filty stray dogs. You will dwell in the gutters for all your lives.

**** on you and the majority of your people.

Oh and by the way I'm a true Los Angelean, 6th Generation, possibly even longer back than that, I dont have one drop of mexican blood in my veins and I'm very proud of it, because I have Californian, Spanish Blood in my veins, the majority of people in Los Angeles to this day are not true los Angelean, but mexican *******s who came here illegally, spawned worthless evil children, raised them and left them to the streets. So at their best they just never knew any better.

From The Prince Of Los Angeles, from the Heart of West Covina

And this is your wake up call, study my words here carefully, and eat them whole, they just might turn your lives around.

I'm not preacher, I'm actually the worst sinner from amongst the Human lines as far as spiritual matters go, when I smile at people they become afraid, they can see the sins in my eyes.

But I'm different than any of you, for my soul was taken from me when I was a child, torn out of my eyes on the island of catalina by demons.
But I still hold out hope, and I have turned from my evil ways and will do them no more.
Can any of you say the same.

Emperor Of Rock
Prince Of Los Angeles
High Prince Of Music
Servant of The Morning Stars

My grandmother was a queen of Los Angeles, can any of you say the same, whats your claim to greatness, smoking some crystal meth, banging some whores, being known to worthless packs of evil dogs. I love watching you vile creatures go for each others throats, and I think it a pity that on the whole you cant even succeed at finishing each other off, you go running to mobsters crying like a *****. and doing the exact same things all over the next day, your a blight to the human race.

Thats your legacy, and that is what shall remain your legacy.

Maybe it was your great great grandfathers fault, he was raised in ignorance, and that same ignorance was passed down to you by your fathers, uncles, and cousins.

But know this there still are those will righteous hearts in this town, and we are ever watchful, and when our fists curl up into balls, and when you gang bangers come around you will learn the true meaning of fear, for when that moment comes you will be terrified for your very life and souls, and only an angel can save you at that moment for the wrath that can befall you, and knowing those angels, they might place a hand on our shoulders, and grant you pieces of **** another chance, but you most likely will not take it, you'll back at the same level one week later, but if you stray to far and refuse to turn away from evil your very lives will be claimed at that point.

E.

By the way I will never post another blog again, but I was hit by a sudden urge to write this today in defense of my beloved hometown, in defiance of evil.

Default A West Covina Resident

I have lived in West Covina since I was 2 and I have never really seen any trouble. Most recently, some guy was posing as a cop and tried to rape a girl in the city. I think it happened near Francisquito Ave. I don't know exactly what happened in the end. Anyways, everything above Merced Avenue is fine. Below Merced, WC starts to look more seedy. When you go east of Azusa Avenue, it starts to look much more high class. I think this is the most expensive part of the city. When you go west of Sunset Avenue, it also starts to get seedy. I'm not really familiar with the areas between Azusa and Nogales. It seems to be safe though. This area has newer houses that seem more like Walnut rather than West Covina. This is also where a lot of Filipino and other Asian stores and businesses are.
