I never heard that, but I was young.
I lived in Spring Valley for 10 years in the 80s
This is a bit of an aside but everyone in navy housing was poor.
And the hood was usually pretty rough.
One time my buddy was at sea and some chicano punks knew it so they would come round and cat call at her.
She grabbed a broom stick, chased them into a dry wash and beat the refried beans out of them LOL
