I got this picture from Google images of Whittier Blvd in 1970.Chapter 15 starts off by the author describing The strip on a Saturday morning with Mexican restaurants, pawn shops, finance companies, Sears, Jack in thr Box, Department of Social Welfare, etc. He also describes how the police treated Chicanos hanging around this street.
Whittier Blvd is important because the author describes a documentary about how cops were beating people on the street with clubs and how chaotic and ugly it was and it really affected Acosta.
