One of the most historic gangs in the world (1930's)...
Maravilla PJs are very real and they lie in far east- East Los Angeles (like a mile from Suburbial Monterey Park) on Avenida Cesar Chavez (formerly Brooklyn Avenue). It really doesnt look as bad as alot of other projects in LA, but years ago it did spawn a conglomerate of NOW non-taxed factions that all claim MV many of whom don't even live in the MVPJs. In the late 40's, Maravilla pretty much ran all of East Los Angeles proper and White Fence ran all of Boyle Heights (also called ELA but more of a runned down area in reality, closer to Downtown). Talk about rivalry. Now WF spread all over and along with many smaller, now Sureno gangs, invaded East LA proper, but MV is still a major power in ELA proper. West of Indiana Street though? Not really.
here are some Maravilla factions off the top of my head:
ARIZONA
LOPEZ
FORD
ROCK
JUAREZ
GAGE
HOYO
MARIANNA
