Ghetto stories/habbits

[larryeastwood]

Syrup Sandwichs, mixing ketchup and mayo for that secret sauce. Hooking up my ramen with egg seasoned salt etc. used to hit the cable man off with a few dollars for a few of dem illegal cable boxes. Used to record the radio on cassette tapes buy putting tissue in the two cracks.

I didn't really grow up in the hood, but every summer when I was younger was spent with my aunt who almost always lived in the hood.

When I was in 4th or 5th grade, my aunt lived on 33rd & Center (Treys for Days ).
-My cousins and I used to fight on this little hill that was in front of her house all day.
-She lived next to a closed down electronics building, we would sneak up on the roof sometimes and mess with my other aunt who lived there.
-Sleeping in a bed with my two younger cousins (on the lowest of keys, we still do when they come to my house. I'm 20, they're 19 and 15/16).

Then middle school she moved to this house on 48th & Vine (Fo Block or No Block ).
-Used to always be in there watching old movies (Casino, Tango & Cash, Belly, etc.) eating pizza puffs and Chicken Wings from JJs playing Dominoes and Spades all night.
-One time some kids from a few blocks up chased some other little dude into her pool she had set up.
-Kicking it with some other kids who lived on 48th.
-Being offered my first zig zag.
-Being in a house with older kids (high schoolers) from around the corner playing Madden until like 4am.
-Broke down weed for the first time.
-My aunt was locked up with one of my cousins for a year (don't remember what they did), but when she came home she had us make these pizzas out of Soft Taco shells and some random *** toppings in the microwave. They were good as hell though.
-Shopping at Burlington Coat Factory for Scarface shirts.
-Fried bologna and cornbeef hash for breakfast.
-Developed my love for Little Debbie snacks here as well. Zebra Cakes, Star Crunch, Fudge Rounds

The house on 48th was a major part of my life growing up. My aunt lived there for like 3 or 4 years. The stuff that took place in that house taught me how important consistency is when developing friendships and turning friends to family. Anyone could come at any time. It was extremely rare for there to be a serious argument. There was ALWAYS laughs had. Very laid back. My cousin and I still reminisce on it to this day. I'd shave years off my life to experience it again.

i lived in one of the most ghetto spots in probably the entire US..calexico,ca.

anyways there was people running "tienditas" which means little stores out of their houses..usually these people sold candy,sodas,ice creams and during special times they'd have fireworks straight from mexico...i think they maybe sold drugs at night too 

in my days we didnt have EBT cards we had that colorful cardboard booklet that was embarrassing as hell to pull out in the store..

bread with butter and sugar, and in the mexican households tortillas with butter and jelly..or you feeling healthy celery with peanut butter..

the baloney that would pop up on the stove, rice with butter cinnamon and sugar...

turning the old school TV with pliers..

fixing our cassettes by cutting a small piece of the messed up part and taping it back together..

putting a small TV on the big TV and used to sound of the old tv on the bottom..OG surround sound.

eating those candies they had in VONS in the clear containers with the scoop inside...i forgot what they were called, i never knew you had to pay for em..

forward to adulthood..

taking a sloppy dump soo sloppy that i dont even attempt to wipe i hop in the tub and run the water down my crack..

Getting a lot of napkins at restaurants and taking them home
Taking a lot of many sauce packets
That's all I can think of at the moment but I am sure there are others

Catchin a spot here and there

 

[mplsdunk]

hamcity, you mean handles of cuervo? most our liq stores got security and we cant cop at the gas station in MN. random question but weren't you mr purp or something and had an avy of san quinn or the grouch?

as far as getting ebt. i had 2 weeks in between jobs. i hit them with "i'm starving and cant eat" so i lied... but i get 200 a month in groceries for free. you have to be unemployeed at the time you get it though. at least i think. but i'm a cook, i can get a job without trying. i chose not to work for 2 weeks.

 

[ham city]

Nah we used to steal 5ths, it's actually easier to tuck two under your belt and look normal than it is one.

We had this one boy who used to do the same with handles, no one ever figured out how he did it or had the balls to try. 

But yea that sweet honey water by the name of Cuervo was my first love. 

 

[916kid]

when i was a kid, my dad made bread+condense milk sandwiches for breakfast for me and my brothers

 

[mplsdunk]

bro, don't let me get started on stealing stories.

honestly it's just about having the balls to do it. i've thrown on a northface jacket in the northface store and walked out with it on knowing the employees knew. you think they would come at me? nah just don't do it in the hood and you're good. i survived off flipping stuff i stole for 2 years. this is years and years ago. but i used to like being blatant and seeing who was about it as a security guard. busted one in the head with a 20 pound bag of charcoal. having a kid mellowed me out because before that i didn't give a damn. i chopped a chick at nordstroms for 20 minutes while my boy racked 5 300 dollar shirts. stealing was a hobby to me. talking about getting gear from hard to hit stores. my boy hit the LV store before when we were 16

good old days.

remind me of my bestfriend

dude stole stuff on the regularrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr tell him what you want he'll get it and sell it to you for half the next day

 

[mplsdunk]

we're still best friends me and my dude who used to run together.

i sold my teachers polos for 30 bucks a piece. had that TI rubber band man teal and pink polo selling HOT! girbaud straps... forget about it. sold out in 5 minutes. we'd fill my car up everyday after school and hit gas and go's everywhere to get within a macys 200 mi from the crib. ran my honda accord to 380k miles hitting liqs.

 

[ham city]

 You a fool bro. I never had balls like that. Anything at Macy's without a sensor on it was open season for me but I was always hella nervous and paranoid when I was working. I wasn't flipping **** either, just wanted to look like moms was keeping me fitted at school the next day. 

 

[mplsdunk]

Rip those weak *** sensors out and throw them I'm a mannequin pocket. If they come at you swing. That was how I did it.

man i miss how thorough i used to be if i had half the balls i used to have... i used to fill up a grocery cart and flee with 100 rib eyes and throw a bqq. that's how i knew i wanted to be a cook.
