Varrio Las Palmas survived all the way up to the very early 80s, but it has now given way to the younger generation of Raza that claims Palm City From Hell (Familia Hispana). South of Palm Avenue the grounds there exhibit a mix of older homes and newer apartment buildings south along the back streets from Harris Avenue. But on the west side of the tracks there still remains plenty of unpaved (dirt) streets even to this day. On the east side of the tracks new housing now stands. The Trolley line itself cut the varrio in half again. Then when the San Diego Trolley line was built, another chunk of its neighborhood was destroyed.
The western part of the varrio (west of I-5) was almost completely torn down and new development was raised up. The old varrio was in time first broken up with the construction of Interstate 5, which was built right through the middle of the neighborhood and sliced it up into two halves. The neighborhood once reached as far west to 19 Street (present day Saturn Blvd). The old varrio extended south of the Otay River marshland area, all the way to Coronado Avenue, centered around Palm Avenue and Harris Avenue. Varrio LAS PALMAS was an old varrio located in the South San Diego neighborhood of Palm City. Note: For some of SIDRO's history read up on the Ma"Archives".
