This is freaking awesome history . Now it’s 2022 and it’s changed so much . My grandmas house is gone and replaced with office buildings . My mom and dads pictures were just painted on a pillar in Chicano park for being part of its rich history of Chicano Culture .

Thank you for this. My father is Carlos Castañeda. Seeing how my Father, Late Aunt Linda, Grandfather and Grandmother, lived before my time was very special. Thank you.

Well it’s 2021 & the pinche Barrio is still here✊🏽 & Even Stronger then Before! With the culture & heritage running through these streets like blood through the veins!

As a filipino born and raised in San Diego, i always saw mexican-americans as a part of my distant cultural family.

And 42 years later Barrio Logan is such a big part of San Diego❤.

I’m a white guy from Texas but I was in the Navy in San Diego the early 90s… I remember Chicano Park.. the murals..riding the trolly through Bario Logan… this brings back memories

Los Cuatro Milpas is still open and running. Seems to have amazing food and appears to be a location stuck in time as it still has its old school look

The gentlemen who said that someday he hoped the park would go all the way to the bay was correct; it just took a long time. When I was young we were poor and had no dental insurance, The Chicano clinic fixed my teeth. Thank you!

God, I feel like watching a movie in the early 80’s. I would give anything back to live in this era.

Born and raised on 32nd and newton 1983 will never forget the best years of my life going to memorial jr high in the 90’s and hanging with the homeboys on 30th street memorial park

From someone who lives in Barrio Logan and plans to NEVER leave, THANK YOU for this, there is no words to describe how special this was 🙏🏼

I worked in Logan avenue and ate in las cuatro milpas restaurant many of times in 1975s thank you for posting it

Wow a lot of landmarks still exists in Barrio Logan, the Barrio has survived through out the decades.

I was Born at Balboa Naval Hospital in Downtown San Diego in the Early 1980’s. I went to Morse High School grew up in Skyline Paradise Hills area as a Kid. I now live in Las Vegas. I Love San Diego Americas Finest City✅❤️

I was baptized there at that church!! Brings back memories beautiful memories living in my beautiful San Diego ❤️

I was 10 years old loving life in El Cajon. What a great child hood growing up in San Diego.

It is so nice to see the history of some areas in San Diego, and Bo Logan is one of the old communities and industrial area. San Diego has the best Mexican food and my son misses it.

I love my city. There’s so much history and rich culture behind our Mexican-American brothers✊🏽

Thank you for posting this video! What a beautiful moment for my family and I to reflect on the progress that’s been made-and what still must be done!

Wow. People seem to be more happy then. The energy and environment feels more illuminated

Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter lived there when he was in the Navy!

Wow, Barrio Logan looks better today and about the same as it did in 1979! Great video.

I found Barrio Logan in 2010 just exploring San Diego from Orange County. I like to go and just hang out, the Art is amazing at the Park.

My husband is the guy with the big fro, beard and cigarette in this video.. a year before I met him, wow-

Back when news was reporting.

What a superb documentary. Thank you for posting.

The only reason I visit SD so much culture and history much love from Oregon ✊🏽 🇲🇽

So awesome! Glad to see the Barrio is still alive and thriving!

I grew up with Los Alacranes (they'd play our family parties). So good to see Ramon "Chunky" Sanchez in this vid, he was absolutely instrumental (oh look a pun lol) in the Chicano Park movement, he wrote a beautiful song about it too. The last family reunion I planned, I booked Chunky and the band. The band was able to play, unfortunately Chunky was in the hospital. It was so sad to hear of his passing. He and his son (who was a mini Chunky, so cute!) and band members will always be part of the Ojeda family legacy.

I visited Barrio Logan & Chicano Park for the first time a few years ago.Funny to hear my surname & my mother’s maiden name(Ruiz)in this news feature.

Carlos was a few years older than me but I remember him well his father was a Tailor They lived across the street from Carlos cleaners... I remember Carlos getting into politics... But have no idea what came of him...

❗🔴🛑 That cinematic color image makes me feel 70's and 80's were the best years ever. Viva la raza ! Forever !

Need more of this! 👌

It’s the Brooklyn of our city, the best urban neighborhood that we possess.

2:50- I wish I could tel her that it lasted so long and there's such a strong latino community that work to keep the culture and history. sadly in these past few years gentrification has been making some parts too expensive for the average san diegan.

I love this thank you for sharing

this is amazing to see. i always wanted to live here during the 70s, 80s, 90s. too bad I wasn't born until the year 2000! much love from Carlsbad

Damn! I never knew that restaurant is OG OG

This is my first time seeing what San Diego was like back in the Day and I've seen a difference

Love my people and culture ❤️

Shout out to Old Town National City desde aqui en Sur de Los Angeles

When you grow up in Clairemont with no real identity other than white boy surf/skate so-cal culture you quickly realize, if youre lucky enough to have someone show you, that the real one is Mexican and the Chicano culture. The art,food,fashion,family support I have experienced with these people far surpasses anything Ive learned or celebrated within my own Anglo Heritage. Growing up here I saw their culture as a symbol of strength and community that mine couldnt hold a candle to.

thats my hood i livd on national avenue by the central store own by big sam and his family his sister sandy was married to my nephew . they are arabs with a mexican heart

Back when families could afford a place to live in SD 😢

San Diego Native 🪶 🔥 Viva La Raza !

Remember when Chicano Park was shabby. Now it looks great!

makes me remember Lolas in Carlsbad... always respect the elders and help the community

It's gentrifying today but at the very least it gets to keep the name Barrio Logan and hangs on to its history.

old boy nailed it, "it all starts at home"...

My grandfather came to the neighborhood in the 60s and had been working as a Long shoreman since the 30s in San Diego (commuting from Tijuana). Whats nuts is all the old ladies that run Cuatro Milpas today knew my grandfather when they were little. Their parents ran it when my grandpa would go to eat & my family’s eaten there since.

Viva El Barrio! Crazy how some things never change.

42 Years on and still Barrio Logan is still Barrio Logan and Cuatro Milpas is still Cuatro Milpas.

I should've never have left you SD.

Maria the 9th grade dropout was cute

Sadly, these reports are missing Professor Al Velasco & Professor Villarino's both from SDSU voice. They were giants in advocating for Barrio Logan's rich Mexican American/Chicano culture.

Outstanding outcome

2021 and the BARRIO IS GOING STRONG BARRIO LOGAN

My hometown..

I'm sure shes gone, but rest well abuela, the barrio remains in tact...it may not be as it was(little today is) but the heritage and history is still seen by many...

Wow! She was almost my grandmother's age

The real San Diego..... south of the 8 baby!!

I’m out of context but the Reporter looks and sound like Agent Skully ..from X -Files ..

Good reporter

Everybody’s getting nostalgic over landmarks that still exists. But man, it fucking sucks how some problems are still the same. Dirty industries for one thing.

I went to sherman elementary from 74 to 79 then memorial jr., i remember sherman20te use to be deep and logan redsteps too and 30ta.

mi barrio

Say the least in this day and age you're not going to find anything for $1.25 I don't think you can get a soda for that much

Note: the word barrio has origins in the Arab lenguage, (barr). In middle ages the people who built their homes outside the walls that protects a city.

And to think that these old timers were wrong the Barrio grew because we held our pride of being Chicanos. I never grew up in Barrio Logan I grew up in mountain view but it feel like home when I'm there

It’s still there Churches, schools, and Cemetery, everthing still there.

1:30- "you cant find that in clairemont" miss if in 2021 we cannot find good Mexican food in Claremont I DOUBT they had good Mexican food in the 70s xD

I was born in 1974 in Mexico City, then moved to SD in 1996, still here (2021), i lived in Logan Heights (many years) back then Cuatro Milpas was kind of a cult mexican restaurant. I think is not the best mexican food at all (still isnt) in SD, poor quality and service... Anyways this video is a jewel... San Diego's working class history

Maria chicana beauty 😍😍from the oldschool

Oldest restaurant in San diego. Where you can still find an OG chicano-saurus....for every generation will have some , they are not on the endangered species list .

4 generations in the barrio everyone leaves to chula vista thank goodness!!!

I guess nothing changed but the cars

Beauty.
