City of Pico Rivera

What a dump. I used to drive through here for a while when I had no choice, and I hated it. Avoid at all costs (just stay on the freeway)

Pico Rivera is my hometown and it’s had its ups and downs. Gang violence, prostitution next to jackson car wash (near the bus stop) and homeless people. Pico has definately tried to bring itself back from the gutter but still has a bit to go. Be on the lookout for crackheads not jerks literally crackheads. Apparently there may be a sober living house or something in pico so at certain times a day they are everywhere. Usually they hang out at Mcdonalds on Rosemead and washington. Other spots that
I have witnessed them at are the Jack in the box outside dining area (same streets) and the Weinershnitzel (prior to the remodel) havent seen them there yet. The flying crackhead frequents the plaza where you can find the L&L bbq. He doesn’t bother anyone or so that I have seen nor does he go into the restaurants. He simply climbs the fountain grabs the money then leaves.

Great city, almost a dump

I love my city!!! Except that bitch with a frow who always gives me a parking ticket! Grrrr damn street sweeping! O well someones gotta do it… not I said the cat!

Just imagine several professional fireworks shows poppin off at the same time all around you in a beautiful sky. This is the perfect environment for kids who love bright colors and sound, people who love a show and lovers who want to ignite a spark.
I once heard someone refer to Pico Rivera as Pyro Rivera on the 4^th of July. Nuff said.

Pico isn’t too bad, been caught in a crossfire once but it’s been home for ten years.
I wish my fellow residents would have thought about voting in that damn sales tax increase though. Fools

The city recently demolished some city owned properties and enlarged their formerly anemic parking lot. Now there’s enough parking for the sheriffs, city employees, customers and more. Also adding another driveway helps with traffic specially around 3PM when the high school gets out and creates a giant clusterf**k. Too bad they blocked off the inside with giant floor to ceiling cubicles and messes up the flow.
