    Noticed some graffiti on the new shopping center along the feeder rd. of 290 past Barker-Cypress next to the new HEB...it was on the back of the building, barely visible, then they painted over it. Low and behold now it has been "tagged" on the glass windows of the shopping center facing 290!!!

    What the hell is going on here? Are there gangs in this area? It looked like a pretty professional job...not just some vandalizing kids. Makes me sick...I hope they can catch these a**holes...I also wonder why they chose this shopping center and no others that I can tell?

    Did you happen to take a picture of it? Do you know the difference between Tagger graffiti and Gang graffiti? LOL Gangs in Cypress? Back in the 90's maybe and that's a big maybe. I've heard rumors about existing gangs out there from 92 to around 2000 but to date have found no proof.

    The 8 spelled is eight they just added the H in front and the S at the end to spell Heights or H8S I've also seen H8$. Later on they started using 485, 485 upside down on a pager (Back then) spelled H8S or Heights. Also there was a gang Called the 8 Ball Posse back then.

    This is true of the Heights too. Once upon a time, the cool thing was to substitute the eight with an 8 in Heights, resulting in H8S. Never understood that one, as I initially read it as "hates". Likely others made the same mistake, as it seems to have fallen out of use in more recent years.

    Never heard the "Jail Route" slang. That's a new one to me.

  4. This is stage, the black residents of today have been calling that area Studewood for some time now, I can remember as far back as the mid 90's but I don't know when they first started calling it Studewood instead of  Independance Heights. I know one exsample of people calling a neighborhood something else other than what it's name was, it's a small section in the Denver Harbor area across from what use to be called Englewood. The Hispanic residents there called it "El Crisol" because of the smell of the tar that was used on the tran tracks; but I still don't see how Studewood relates to Independence Heights.
