A small community within Los Angeles, this town is known for its pride and its ethnicity. Locals pronounce it "Pidro" instead of "Pedro." People are not ashamed to admit Pedro is a blue-collar town. Its roots run deep in the longshoring and fishing industry. Most people in Pedro come from one of three ethnicities: Italian, Croatian, or Hispanic, and all three are just as equally proud of their heritage. San Pedro is home to the largest Italian-American community in Southern California. Most Italian residents are from Ischia or Sicily. On any given day you can find many locals sporting t-shirts, hats, or even car decals representing some sort of San Pedro establishment or just Pedro itself. Many restaurants are local "haunts" that even people from other towns come to eat at...such as "Busy Bee" (best sandwiches in town). This just scratched the surface of this wonderful "Whale of a town." My home...
"PEEEEDRO!"
"Hey there is a big party at the Italian-American Club tonight in San Pedro. Do you want to go?"

(Trichocereus pachanoi) is a tall, dark green cactus that contains mescaline. It is native to Peru and Ecuador, but grows in various places. It is most often used as an entheogen, but can be used to treat cardiac disease and high blood pressure. The highest concentration of mescaline is in the dark green layer right under the surface. Although Mescaline became illegal in the 70s, San Pedro is legal to cultivate.

A sex position. The female participant has to grow out their leg hair enough to have a “spiky” feel. She then sits atop her male partner and holds her arms in curved position to the sky and floor, mimicking the look of a San Pedro cactus. The male participant also rubs the females legs, and comments on its spiky-ness. This is done in Spanish for more advanced users. Works all year round, but ideal for winter.
Brooke “I haven’t shaved my legs for a week, better shave them tonight”
Tim “shave them tomorrow, let’s San Pedro tonight”
Brooke “vamos de fiesta, chico grande!”

A place that has 1,000 of the loudest cars and bikes you could possibly imagine constantly driving up and down pacific. They’ll wake your napping/sleeping kids up and they’ll make your animals go primitive. If you’re retired or military and living on Ft Mac, Pacific Heights or Pacific Crest than you know these loud ass vehicles all too well. The culture out here is the cool looking, classic old cars but man oh man if you’re not into loud cars and bikes driving through all hours of the night this is place is gonna be a rude awakening for you.
You live at ft mac?
Yeah so?
Good luck with your kids sleeping a full night, that place is in San Pedro
