    Quick Discussion on the Zoot Suit Riots 80th Anniversary Ep: 27

    Quick Discussion on the Zoot Suit Riots 80th Anniversary Ep: 27

    On this episode we discuss the 80th anniversary of the Zoot Suit Riots Cruise weekend. This year was different as the city got involved and sponsored events commemorating the Zoot Suit Riots with two different organized events in Little Tokyo and Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights. In addition, we discuss the news of the LA County Board of Supervisors acknowledging and apologizing the city's wrong doing during the zoot suit riots and the banning of the zoot suit in June of 1943. This was a great move by the city and those who helped push it to see change in tragic events that hurt our culture and our people.

    California Prison Series: A look at Tehachapi and Corcoran State Prison Ep. 24

    California Prison Series: A look at Tehachapi and Corcoran State Prison Ep. 24

    California Prison series is a new segment that we will share exploring the history of California prisons we have visited over time. We discuss the history, architecture of the prisons and experiences (paranormal or not) visiting these places as well as stories/controversies that have occurred at these places over time.  In our first segment we  discuss the history of California Correctional Institution (CCI) or just known as Tehachapi before it was a men's prison  it was a women's prison in the 1930s better known as California Institute for Women (CIW) where  women like infamous murderesses like Louise Peete was housed.  We also discuss Corcoran State Prison and the notorious SHU gladiator wars and Charles Manson lived for sometime. We compare and contrast these two stark place and the lone towns these prisons are at. We also bring to light historical places like Allen worth which sits desolate near both prisons. #corcoranstateprison #tehachapi #californiacorrectionalinsitution #prisonseries #exploringcaliforniaprisons #corcoranshu #securityhousingunit

    Ghosts of Our Youth: Abandoned Institutions and the Impact on Los Angeles Youth Ep. 23

    Ghosts of Our Youth: Abandoned Institutions and the Impact on Los Angeles Youth Ep. 23

    In honor of Slanguage Art Studio 20th Anniversary Installation we created a special episode discussing the abandoned juvenile institutions in Los Angeles that are currently still there or recently razed: Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, Central Juvenile Hall, SRCC/CYA Norwalk, Fred C. Nelles (razed), MacLaren Hall, and General Hospital 13th floor jail ward. Many of these places have been highlighted on Swapmeet_Chronicles but it was important to have a discussion of how these places affected youth throughout the decades and why are they abandoned now? The installation currently at Angels Gate Cultural Center features photos of Los Padrinos including photos of the research done for the discussion. The installation runs until Dec 10, 2022.
