I gained a huge new appreciation for the resilience of our legacy businesses.who have served our community for generations.

I was so excited to celebrate the Toyo Miyatake Studios 100th-year anniversary by planning and hosting a photo gallery exhibition.and it is so important to me that we preserve them so that future generations can say the same.a pop-up photo exhibit featuring historical Toyo Miyatake Studio photos.

Little Tokyo will benefit from two-way streets of communication and united understanding between landowners and the Japanese American culture and community it serves.one of the several legacy businesses forced out just at the end of 2023.

its advancing at a scary rate.

having served Little Tokyo for decades.the Judge John Aiso Parking Garage.

knowing that this would be my last time eating at this location.What will the future streetview look like? Bound by one-way streets.

I had the honor of acting as a tour guide for the guests.There is such a strong collective community memory surrounding the neighborhood of Little Tokyo.
