That piknik got the best guisada

Oh great. I'm glad to hear that. Us as well. We grew up in the Victoria Courts. I wish they would not have taken those down. We have moved on but we never forget where we came from. Those are our roots. They are the reason for who we are today. I am very proud to let folks know where I am from and all about our roots. God Bless you.

I lived at Alazan Courts on Vera Cruz st right across from the cemetery. This was back in the '50s. These are my roots

I lived on Vera Cruz with my Grandma in the 80's & 90's. They demolished our side of the street (💔), but we could see The Alazan Courts Main Building from our place. The memories of growing up there with my family are with me in my heart everyday ❤ Nothing but PRIDE! ❤💪 Always.

"' La Garra '' as Lanier HS on Brazos st.. used to be called before it was remodeled in the 70s

Love my hood 207💯

I was this neighborhood’s Amazon delivery driver lol my favorite route! I felt comfortable because I stayed in the west (:

That's awesome!

My parents are from the west side. Mom went to Lanier, and dad to Fox Tech in the 70's

I remembered this. Long ago, it was a mess until the property got renovated and painted and added new features. It looks so neat and what gives to tear it down? Gangs issues? Or planning to built new government housing?

SAHA owns the lot and wants to build big "mixed income" high rises that can turn a profit, even if they have to kick out the families that live there

It has changed alot I grew up on San Luis & Comal across the Alazan courts. Went to J.T.Brackenbrick elementary & Lanier High

Great idea!

This area was bad in the early nineties with gang stuff. It has settled down a lot!

My family lived there from the 70s to late 90s , at 0:25 we lived in the 2nd building, and when you cross the street to the left ..all those new houses were a section on the courts they demolished and build the newer ones next to the main building

Just found ur channel. Pretty cool bro. I’m from SA myself

I used to live there when I was about 2

I used to live there in the 70s before they were remodeled and went to JT Brackenridge before it was remodeled .. Our block was from Brazos to Zarsamora on Guadalupe st ..witnessed alot of murders during that time , extorted bar customers for protection of their cars and did a little bit of shining shoes to survive and i was only 10 .. That's how it goes when you don't have parents at home to take care of you and feed you and you're just stuck fending for yourself ! No wonder why i couldn't shed a tear when my parents passed away ! Im almost 60 and 3thousand miles away and i still have nightmares of that horrible place !

Wow, I grew up in that same barrio n I used to show shined in the 70s, from Zarzamora to brazos. I was a Tiny Loco back then. U might remember them. We used to fight all kinds of gangs in all that area , we were nothing bt cholos. I'm fixing to b 61 soon. It was a dangerous place back then. I, too, saw a lot of killings in the barrio. I got shot n stabbed growing up there.
