National City approves lowrider cruising

Dozens of lowriders are hoping May 6 will be the first of many legal cruise nights in the South Bay, after an ordinance banned it for 30 years. "It’s going to be like a parade going down Highland. You know, saying hello to many of our friends, people we haven’t seen in years,” said Marcos Arellano, who is a lowrider and part of United Lowriders Coalition. In December, the city suspended the law for six months to allow cruising on the first Friday of every month from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. on Highland Avenue. Lowriders say it's a pilot program and after the trial period, the city will determine the events and whether to lift the ordinance. This past Tuesday the council agreed that it will take place between Sixth and 28th streets from May to October. Full story on CBS8.com: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/loc...
