==Events of GTA San Andreas==
Idlewood in Los Santos is based of the the city of Inglewood.In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], Idlewood is a stronghold for the Ballas gang, in particular the Front Yard Ballas, who use the area to launch attacks on both the [[Grove Street Families]] and the [[Varrios Los Aztecas]], in order to take control of [[Little Mexico]] and [[Ganton]]. Idlewood is the home of Big Smoke, a Grove Street Family gang veteran; however the Ballas do not attack him (as it is later revealed that Smoke had been collaborating with the Ballas).
 
Idlewood, after the return of [[Carl Johnson]] and [[Sweet|Sweet Johnson]], becomes a district under the control of the Grove Street Families. The Ballas are pushed out of Idlewood, and begin to lose other districts also. The Grove Street Families continue to control Idlewood through the end of GTA San Andreas.
