Is the police turning a blind eye to the racist groups?
Citizens of Los Santos feel uneasy saving their hard earned cash in the “public piggy bank”.

an interview with james coy:
los santos businessman
Welcome to our new column LS Businessman. For this column we will be conducting weekly interviews with different entrepreneurs in Los Santos. For this first edition we have interviewed James Coy, the owner of “James Limo Services”. A limo rental company for those who want to arrive at their destination in style. How did you come up with the idea for a limo rental service? What inspired you to do it? Well, I saw new clubs and pubs popping up all over, yet there was no possibility of renting a limo. That’s what inspired me to do it, basically I’m giving them the possibility of arriving at their destination in style. Be it a meeting, a club or whatever, arriving in a limo is the perfect way to get all the attention. As we all know, we are currently in a mild recession, has this affect your business? It sure has, business is a bit slow these days. But I don’t fully blame it on the recession, there are more contributing factors. There’s a lot of crime in the city, people driving around with no license, or while intoxicated. Barely anyone respects the blue zones; they just speed through without stopping and frequently cause accidents. The dangerous state of our roads is also slowing down businesses. You could say that crime is bringing this great city down.
There’s a lot of crime in the city, people driving around with no license, or while intoxicated. Barely anyone respects the blue zones, they just speed through without stopping and frequently cause accidents.
Do you have a lot of regulars or do you get various new customers? It varies from day to day, but most of the people I get are new customers though. But like with every other business I do have a small group of regulars though. Does your business bring in enough to have it as your only job? At the moment it does not, as I’ve said, business is a bit slow. I mostly drive the limo between my shifts at the bus garage. My main job is as a mechanic at the bus depot, but when I’m free I drive the limo. Do you have any policy regarding who’s allowed to rent the limo, or do you accept anyone? For example, would you drive around with members of the mafia? Yes, I drive anyone who pays, but of course driving around with mafia members is a bit risky. Have you ever been a victim of crime while on the job? I have had the luck of never being attacked or robbed by anyone. I keep myself neutral, I don’t engage in any illegal activities, so maybe that’s why I’ve never been a victim. All genuine business owners should be neutral in my opinion. Ever had a client commit a crime while in your limo? Once a client of mine decided that it would be a swell idea to do a drive-by in style. The police quickly arrived though, they did wreck the limo when trying to stop me though, the engine had to be fixed and extensive body work had to be done. Now that you mention the police, what’s your general opinion about them? Some people claim that they use too much force, do you agree? I do agree with them, the police do use excessive force, but I think that it may be needed. Like I already said, crime in Los Santos is on the rise. Criminals are getting bigger and bigger weapons, high-tech weapons and such. It’s only logical that the police have to update their arsenal as well.

tubs, owner of club 420, talks to ls times How he went from working in a local garage to owning the hottest nightclub
Exotic Cars Driving around Los Santos you see a lot of different cars. Different colors, different models, and sometimes even with nice modifications. We here at SAN Magazine decided to look around for those rare vehicles, those you don’t see every day. In this issue we’ve decided to write about the Hotknife. Siruse, the proud owner of one of the few Hotknifes in Los Santos decided to talk to us a bit about his car. Siruse: “This hotknife here is my 4th car, I’ve had a few other cars before, but I always liked the older vehicles, their retro design is something I like. And there’s nothing that sounds better than an old V8 engine” At this point Siruse turned on
We all know the club, we all know the man, but do you know the story behind it all? Local entrepeneur, “Tubs”, talks to LS Times explaining how he did it all. “A couple of years ago, in Las Venturas, me and my brother decided to open up a garage. It was a small garage where we fixed and modded vehicle. Business was good, and soon enough we decided to broaden our range of services. We opened up a used car dealership. As with our garage, business was good. After a while I decided to move to Los Santos to look for new opportunities.”
the best stadium in San Andreas. After some modifications the stadium became home to a variety of events. We held various races, car shows, paintball contests, stunt biking tournaments, and a lot more. Business was good, it was here that I made my fortune, transforming me from a smalltime business owner to a succesful entrepeneur and businessman. Eventually the investors were paid severance, making all the profits mine. After a few months I decided to sell the stadium. I had other plans on mind, I wanted to provide the hottest club Los Santos has ever seen.”
After he arrived in Los Santos he opened up “Tubs Towing”. A company specialized in towing, fixing and modding vehicles. Way before BT&R and McJones towing, Tubs Towing was the only company that provided towing services in Los Santos. This helped to make it an extremely succesful company that made Tubs good money. “After a while I made some strong contacts in town. Since I was the owner of a prominent company I also got to know many investors that were willing to help me out with my next big plan, the purchase of Los Santos Forum, that’s the stadium, for the ones that don’t know.” The LS Forum is the biggest stadium in Los Santos, and the second biggest in the state of San Andreas. “Me and my investors eventually purchased the LS Forum, transforming it into
used for a casual outing with co-workers to the place to go for a night of non-stop partying. One would think that Tubs has reached the top, but he has bigger plans than just a nightclub. “I want to also introduce gambling, you know, to help people in these hard times. As you know, the United States is in recession, people can use an extra buck now and then, and I want to be there to help them.” (In our next issue of LS Times we’ll be going more in-depth on gambling in Los Santos, so be sure to read our next issue.) We asked Tubs what he thought played a role in him being this succesful. “Well, I’ve learned many things by mistake, and correcting my mistakes have made me a stronger investor and business owner. But most importantly, to have a succesful business you MUST offer was the public wants” With this we’ve concluded the interview with the Los Santos entrepeneur, Tubs.
Without any doubt, Tubs delivered exactly what he promised. Club 420 is one of the hottest, and best, nightclubs in Los Santos. With it’s low entrance fee, anyone can afford going to Club 420, this is also why it’s one of the most popular nightclubs, and always packed in the weekends. With a bar stocked with a great variety of drinks, satisfying those who prefer not to drink alcoholic content, to those who want the best champagne, Club 420 can be
