Montgomery's Wing...on Palm Ave South San Diego.. a story from some one I once knew..
I was parked in a car with a girl.. I was 16 0r 17 yrs old.. Did I like her? I'm not sure but like any guy back in the day , if you had a chance to make out.. kiss alot. why not? Ok.. alot of us.. guys went there to party . like drink beers or toke out// yeah remember that term.. ok.. what that is smoking weed , mota ,, mary jane.. in a water bong.. or some may say using a pipe.. Now.. which one was better? I would say the bong, because it went down smoother than a pipe.. A pipe was so much more harsher on the lungs , but you got a better high out of that.. you know.. oh well like i said this spot has many memories for the tokers , the jokers , the fighters and of course the lovers.. back in the day.. It was always meet you at the Wing.. for a meet up with a new girl.. or a meet up for a fight. It was place to be.. It's funny how we thought going there meant total privacy.. Come on guys.. We all knew what cars we drove or who was who,, but we all felt comfortable there.. to make out. , dream or just hang out with friends.. I wrote many stories and made many jokes out there with friends. I also had trouble with police and fights with drunk friends. Like i said , the place holds good and bad memories , but needless to say it was one of the most memorable spots in the South Side.. Ask Any Montgomery classmate and they can all recall the " Wing" and recollect on all kinds of memories there.. Like one time my crazy friend with the orange pinto With white racing stripes affectionatley called the " Dragons Wagon" because the dude who drove it was a devoted Bruce Lee fan and the car was a station wagon.. get it,.. ? no,, ok,.,. I guess you needed to be drunk as hell to really get it.. Or high as a kite.. which seemed like to be the in thing during that time.. Was all that partying worth it? I mean, it was harmless , we all laughed and joked about life and music and of course people.. Its funny how back then , we thought we were so bad , so unstopable , fearless , restless , you name it were that. But all in all, when we needed a place to chill. The Wing was it.. I recall many days and nights , looking at the moon and just dreaming about how life was going to be once we graduated and began our lives.. The dumbest memory i have is when this old man had a dead battery.. and the Joker of the group decided to pull out his jumper cables and drive by taunting this old man,.. The old man was pissed , Hes son. or whatever laughed, like that is funny.. But guess what " Karma " had it,. that one day when walking back to my car,. I saw my window broken in the Aztec Parking lot.. and that damn arrogant old man drive by , saluting us.. God I wanted to chase him.. but my buddies.. Jo and Roger .. thought not a wise idea.. and to be honest , I'm sure they were right.But It was a memory that still lingers in my head even after all these years.. Imagine that...Well fellow classmates and friends I'm sure you all had places in school that was special and I hope my stroll down memory lane triggers those good memories.. because that time will always be cherished by all of us, whether you recall those days or not. IF not the times , atleast the land marks or spots we shared growing up will always be a special place in our hearts and minds.. Until the next Aztec and Mayan memory. Take care friends and keep the re connections going and the stories and ideas flowing so i can replay or recall those days in "South Side"" Take care ... always.. The Source Productions @2011..
