A beautiful and seemingly completely original lettering style! It is not clear if this piece is the work of Virgie herself or someone else, perhaps El Nat. 

HG: Several gangs are represented here, including Clanton 14 (east side) and El Hoyo Maravilla. Note variation on the swastika accompanied by "13" under "Irma". 

HG: This is the territory of the Cypress Park gang, though other gang placas are present and there's been some crossing out. 

HS: Ah, for the days when there was plenty of space for parking and placas! Most of the stuff seen here is pretty crude. A couple are signs of the time, as with "Zodiac Killer" at left and the large peace sign at right.
