Lots of Hispanic gang activity and drug associated problems in what I’ve always heard Wilmington, Calif. referred to as “Wilmas”. I grew up in a neighboring city. It wasn’t a “good thing to go to “Wilmas” man”. That was back in the 50’s and 60’s.
It still is!

My parents moved to San Pedro in 1956.
It wasn't a "good thing to go to "Wilmas" man".
It still ain't such a good idea.
That was back in the 50's and 60's.
I've lived here since the mid-60s and I can't believe how diffeent things are now. In the 50s and 60s Wilmington wasn't nearly as bad as its reputation. Now, however, it's worse that its reputation ever was.
