Band Members: 'Barrio Van Nuys is another old barrio in the valley, and maybe the only one recognized by San Fer to be original. Their Barrio is around the High School campus and Delano Street in South Van Nuys. They are formally divided into North Side and South Side, but they are mainly in the South Side and mainly on Delano St. I have seen grafitti in school books from BVNS Delano ST wich dates back from 1975, proving that they have been an active barrio for a long time. They allegedly started as a Pachuco Club and claim to have actually participated in the ZOOT SUIT RIOTS. I have met veteranos from BVNS that are very old and claimed BVNS in the early 40s, wich would make them an old barrio in LA. Van Nuys has been invaded by MS and has had other barrios start in their neighborhood, like Vanowen ST, Haskells, Valerio ST, and other small ones. They have held strong to the LA invasion in general except for MS, wich claims Van Nuys is one of its original barrios. Since MS is new, that can be confirmed, but they have tried to spread far beyond their original boundaries wich are hard to define as it is. Barrio Van Nuys is a traditional barrio and very united. Barrio Van Nuys (BVNS) 8 Aligned with Vanowen Street Locos. These two gangs have the largest territory and the largest numbers in this section of Van Nuys -- an estimated 300 to 400 members. Main revenue source Drugs. Favorite hangouts Delano Street and Vesper Avenue, Delano Street and Sylmar Avenue, Delano Street and Tyrone Avenue. The Van Nuys Recreation Center at Tyrone Avenue and Vanowen Street which they share with the Vanowen Street Locos
