I am Whittier, Quaker Town, founded 1887. Unlike
most towns which are named after their founders, I am
named after the honorable Quaker poet, John
Greenleaf Whittier, who's statue stands today in Central
Park. I have survived such tragedy as the 87'
earthquake, and I still stand, even stronger than before.
I am the city that offers something for everyone.... For
the fashion savvy, I offer the splendor of historic Uptown
Whittier and Greenleaf Ave. Or for the upscale
bargain-hunter, the tranquility of the Whittwood Mall.
Don't let all of those shopping bags knock you down on
the way out... For those of you with the burning need for
flavor, there are plenty of wonderful restaraunts
throughout Whittier, that won't burn a hole in your
pocketbook: Rocky Cola Cafe, Amachi, Ambrose, The
Mexican Cafe, El Atacor, Los Sanches, Mimi's Azabu,
Mitsuru,
The Golden Triangle, Black Angus,The Silver Palace,
Rubi's , and The Seafare Inn, just to name a few. Don't
forget your doggy bag....! Thinking about raising your
family in Whittier? Your kids won't go uneducated, with
an array of wonderful high schools to choose from,
including Whittier High, California High, La Serna,
Pioneer, and St. Paul. Has your son been a bad, bad
boy? There's no need to fret, cause when he's given
the boot from Frontier High, the folks at Fred C. Nelles
will be able to whip him into shape in no time.... Just
don't forget that visiting hours apply, and all sharp
objects must be removed prior to entry. For the social
elite of Whittier, the million dollar+ homes of Friendly
Hills be a welcome haven from a long day at the office.
Located in the pristine Whittier hills, you can reside in
luxury and tranquility, and not have to deal with the daily
nonsense and derillicts that those "Below the Blvd."
have to put up with. Just don't forget your golf clubs!
Tired of big-city life, but not too tired of dodging those
bullets quite yet? Well, get ready cause South Whittier's
the place for you! With slightly more 'affordable'
housing and 'comfortable' multi-dwelling living, South
Whittier will be waiting for you with a smile. Just don't
be
surprised when your new neighbors offer you a
"Helping Hand" moving your stuff into your new home.
You'll be able to buy it all back from the pawn shop with
all that money you saved from not hiring a moving
company! Found Charlie B. not breathing and
unresponsive to external stimuli behind Bakers Liquor?
Or is your 13 year old daughter just not going to wait
another minute to deliver that bundle of joy? Well get
the car warmed up, because Whittier offers two state of
the art hospitals just around the corner! If you get lost
along the way, just stop and ask one of Whittier's proud
citizens like Don, Perry, Bunny, or Guitar Lady for
directions.
And when they are not out harrassing the Uptown
crusty-punks or the cruisers on Whittier Blvd., the elite
officers of the Whittier Police Department will be happy
to assist you with any emergency or trouble. Just be
sure that you don't give Upton any lip if he pulls you
over..... Just between you and me, he's spent too many
years on the job, and too much time on the sauce,
wink-wink. Community is what I stand for and
community is what I believe in. Lets all take a moment
and remember those that could no longer be with us:
Noa-Noah's, Beans, Echo's, Subculture, The Wee Loft,
Skate Cafe, Pacific Surf And Ski, Barro's, Que's, Rude
Looks, The Pussycat Theater, Rexall Drugs, Music
Plus, Clifton's Cafeteria, Henshaw's, The May Co.,
Stater Bros, Monte Vista High, Sacket-Peters, The
Whittier Theater, In-Gear, Farrell's, the first eight
Lascari's locations, Professor Laura, and the Night
Stalker victims. See you at the Uptown Festival!!!

Anyone with Whittier Pride. Can't shake it..... Add me.
First name: Whittier. Last name: Quaker Town.
