The Mystery of the Missing Low Riders

It’s Cinco de Mayo and that means cruising — especially on Federal. But over the last year, Chicano car clubs have stopped meeting up along the strip, while at the same time, police have had an increased presence. It looks like a law enforcement crackdown, but is it? Councilperson Jamie Torres joins the show today to help get to the bottom of this issue of vanishing car clubs. We also hear from an OG low rider about the deep roots of the car club tradition. And hey! We’re still hoping to hear more of your Elitch’s memories. Are you an Old Elitch’s person? Or a New Elitch’s person? Use Voice Memos, Voice Recorder, or another app to record your memory and send it to us at [email protected], and we might play it on the show. Just remember to say your name and whether you’re an Old Elitch’s person or a New Elitch’s person. Get the newsletter: https://denver.citycast.fm/newsletter/ Get the tweets: @CityCastDenver
