The Rt. 66 West Fest happened yesterday at Unser and Central. It was a celebration of deep-rooted West Side, and South Valley, cultural past times - boxing, classic cars, music, and community centered activism. The colorful event was well attended - folks seemed to be having a good time. Kudos to the West Central Community Development Group for being the foundation for this event.
We would also like to shout out a big thank you to our friend, La Familia Car Club member and classic car guy, Joe Garza. He turned us on to the event. Despite the soaring temperatures that caused our heels to sink into the asphalt, we really enjoyed ourselves.
