Five Points
A rough run down, area in Denver, used to be refered to as the "Harlem of the West" because of it was home to one of the largest African American population bases west of the Mississippi. It was originally a very safe and calm area where a lot of the days Jazz players and Blues musicians would stay going to the west coast, eventually the neighboorhood gave way to
urban decay and neglect and became a drug and crime infested area during the 70s, 80s and early 90s. The Black Mayor
Wellington Webb who was dubbed as "The Mayor of Five Points" made it his mission to clean up the nieghboorhood during the 90s and for the most part was sucsessful. More mexicans and white people have moved in but it still isn't a place you would want to just
roam around in.

A gang in
the 812 who is mainly about the group itself. Also
about it's surrounding
breezies. They have one symbol and it is a five pointed star, that represents the five members it contains. You must ask the members for hand symbols and handshakes. Typically, the hand symbols are creative and normally form a star. They also do not take shit from anyone, period.
Example:
I saw
Five Point the other day. They were posted like a
stamp at that party, with all the
breezies surrounded!
