South Gate is my hometown and I still go back from time to time.
What to do if you are on the 710 and exit in the City of South Gate?
–Tierra Mia Coffee for a variety of Latin flavor
–Maria’s Tamaleria, where some of my Familia purchase tamales, thank you Familia
–Cousimano’s Pizza, a Hit or Miss, I wish you good luck
–The Theatre and modern Azelea shopping center on Garfield/​Firestone
–Perhaps the clubs and more on Long Beach Blvd, but, be careful
–South Gate Park, remodeled and with tons of runners at night
–Firestone Blvd you see lots of places to eat or buy a car
–Tweedy Blvd where the Comic Book store, the Allan Theathre, the little shops
A lot has changed since I was growing up here. South Gate was once a model suburbia. In grade school, it was gang infested. After I left a positive movement occurred. Party crews, rennovations, migration, and population flight, crime decrease, crime increase, has changed the landscape of South Gate.
If you are visiting a friend, the parking on some streets is very crowded, and some streets are not very wide.
It’s all good.
Song parody of Ja Rule’s 2004 song «New York» (feat. Fat Joe, Jadakiss)
I got my bagy pants, my haircut trim, you know, I’m from South Gate (South Gate)
I got a ton of written lyrics to spit, next time, if you say (you say)
I got the homies that were doing ishh, brother I’m from South Gate (South Gate)
I got a writing pad to write some ishhh, cause Unilocalers I’m from South Gate
And you know.
Take me to Pic N Save, and then La Barata
Modernization wild, I think back to old times
The old school SG, everything I desire
So take me to South Gate, with that OG style
We on fire, Lucky Boys on Otis
Fish N Chips Thang, Pioneer Chicken
And Greenspan brings, clothes for the Vatos
With every hat possible, Pendleton’s and classic shoes
Back at the Allan now
Watch the movie till 4, now I’m hearing all the concert sound
Trying to catch a pizza, Cousimano’s is down
But back then it was much better pizza than now
I don’t really understand where the Drive-​In is now
But we’ll find it, even if it’s just in our own hearts
Cruising Tweedy now, Firestone all day
Cause we chilling, up here in South Gate

They have been working on this road on Firestone and Atlantic for months. Who did the city hire their brother in law? Project management is a joke. There’s traffic everyday on this road going to the freeway. The city grew with new shopping centers but the staff is in over their heads. Get this shit done already! Who did you hire part time workers? This is a fraud spending tax money and letting it sit. Fire the project manager and the person who approved these incompetent people asap. City of Southgate is hard working families. It is the city hall people who do not live in the community treat it like shit.

Wow! i thought I was driving in downtown LA. Just as bad. Be careful where you park. Lock your doors. South gate park is okay. Just wish there was more police showing themselves around. Oh well what can you do this is still LA.

I have been a member of this community for about 20 years now. This city has its beautiful parts to it and its well, not so beautiful parts! The area by South Gate Park is just amazing. The fact that they are fixing up the park males it now much more friendly and amazing to come to. The soccer goals center is a good place to come and play soccer for a small fee, I believe. The part of South Gate by Jordan High School is not one of the friendliest areas of the city. There are however, stupid drivers, mostly youngsters, that drive around thinking they are race car drivers now. The police here aren’t all that great either. Too many hotshots there. Great places here though, such as Greenspans, as well as great restaurants to choose from to eat

I get to this part of town about once a week for soccer at the South Gate Park, you may think this area is the «hood» but I am not scared for myself but scared for my car. Possibility of cars getting stolen from the park parking lot while running or some sort of activity where you have to leave your car alone. Also, jackasses drive like there isn’t a red light shining in front of their faces. Just be careful out there if you’re having to travel through this city but great places to eat around town that’s for sure.
