Now that my blog is SORT OF working again, I can send you to the Homies web site. These figures have taken over the gumball machines in the Fruitvale district. I believe Dave Gonzales when he says he means the Homies to be a loving caricature of life in his neighborhood, but I have to say that I find his Palermo family to be stereotypical and offensive. Hey Dave! Stay outta my turf, gavrone!
