5. Freddy (Ch. 6)
 "On the starting tip of Sunset Boulevard (which is now called Cesar Chavez
Avenue--when did that happen?) I survey my territory--the new apartment
buildings and stores, the fresh coats of paint on the doors and window frames
on abandoned shops, new storefront signs in English covering the old sun-
bleached Spanish ones (which themselves were molded over the old English
signs from the forties and fifties), the odd presence of young bearded white
men with coffee, not six-packs, on the street corners. Where are the
Chicanos? Or the Chinos? [...] I [will] call my carnals, who must love all the
fresh money walking around here, and by this time tomorrow I'll be up a
hundred? Five hundred? Hell, maybe a thousand dollars, enough to relax on
for a couple months" (113).

6. Angie (Ch. 7)
 "Selling the house meant I was out of debt, free to go wherever I wanted. I
discovered I didn't want to go anywhere after all, especially once the
neighborhood started changing. House prices went up, neighbors cashed out,
and there were new bars, new restaurants, fewer cholos. I welcomed these
fellow white, affluent (and sometimes openly gay--a shocker for the old-
timers) strangers into a land that I'd inhabited for most of my life and that
was now a foreign tourist destination. These new shops had so much
beautiful, useless... stuff--handmade designer handbags; overpriced "folk" art
painting [...]. And I loved these stores for this, for their nice... things. They
made this place feel more like my home." (147)

7. And in our own neighborhoods?
