Maybe Video Louis was actually thinking of the gang Dog town which does reside near China town at the William Mead Homes (protects) There was is also diff variations of that name as Gardena Dog town stoner’s and Venice Dog Town stoner’s they got no connections. O believe in Highland Park as well
as for the pieces don’t know what Dog Town they are talking about but most likely Venice since most people know that one ono

The O.G. Dog Town is in venice south of wilshire. Yeah that whole area used to be trashed, even where the 3rd street promenade used to be. That is real dogtown, the name has been used to by gangs in the area. Some of which i could imagine moved near china town….

The original Dogtown was a gang started around the beginning of the 20th century in NorthEast LA. Looooong before any skateboard connection. About 75 years before. Both Reddog (Jim) and Bulldog (Wes) know this. One of the oldest gangs in LA along with C14 and White Fence and 38th Street.

DOGTOWN THE STREET GANG WAS INDEED NAMED BECAUSE OF A DOGPOUND JUST NOT THE ANN ST. DOGPOUND . FROM THE MAIN ST. BRIDGE TO ABOUT THE POST OFFICE THIS AREA WAS KNOWN AS DOGTOWN SO SOMETIME IN THE LATE 1830s A DOGPOUND WAS CONSTRUCTED NEAR WHERE THE DOWNEY BRIDGE IS STRAY DOGS WERE A BIG PROBLEM IN THOSE TIMES SO PEOPLE WERE LIMITED TO 2 DOGS PER HOUSEHOLD . SO MANY DOGS WERE RUNNING WILD ATTACKING KIDS AS WELL AS ADULTS SO A PRICE TAG WAS PUT ON THEIR HEADS THIS LED TO THE AREA KIDS WHICH WERE TO NOT ONLY BRING IN STRAY DOGS BUT THEY’D ALSO STEAL FAMILY PETS & TURN THEM IN FOR A REWARD THESE KIDS WERE SOON LABELED HOODLUMS , THIEVES & CALLED SOME NOT SO NICE NAMES SO THESE KIDS STARTED A GANG WHICH WAS CALLED DOGTOWN. THE DOGPOUND WAS RELOCATED TO ANN ST. IN THE EARLY 50s & THE WILLIAM MEAD HOMES WERE COMPLETED IN 1954 SO THE DOGTOWN STREET GANG CAME INTO BEING LONG BEFORE. THERE YOU HAVE IT
