The New Year arrives with the glimmer of greater possibilities for year-old Sergio Olivan, after his folks gave him the best squeegee on the block for Christmas. Kids elsewhere might scratch their heads, or howl in protest, at such a gift. For several years, the youngsters along this small stub of a barrio street, tucked against the sound wall of the Santa Ana Freeway, have hustled money wiping down cars at an automated carwash at a gas station down the block on Olympic Boulevard. Weekends, vacations and many afternoons, one, two or several of the kids perch at the carwash exit, rags and squeegees waving as dripping cars emerge. They peer in, watching for the nod from the face behind the wheel. Near the heart of ever-wary and deeply troubled Los Angeles, there is something vaguely nostalgic and faintly hopeful about the little Hicks Avenue enterprise. The operator of the gas station, worried about liability and discouraging customers, is not applauding. The kids play a running cat-and-mouse game with the gas station attendants. One man had his antenna broken, Marquez said. The Hicks Avenue boys are wholly undeterred, saying problems are created by outsiders who venture on their turf.
