This weekend the team lead by young was in the westside of to create a for and family, neighborhood in need of a memorial of there pillar of the community who has passed! Young JD has grown so much and came so far looking back on beginning!! JD is out of a section here in South Central called The Low Bottoms and it is what the name states if you know the east side with all respect!! This young man was introduced to our CruShow the age of 21 a year ago by another community member who noticed JD doing Graffiti in the neighborhood! Once he approached JD he asked him why was he doing that spray painting in the middle of the day and was he getting paid for the risk!! JD replied in a fashion that made the community member get closer to the young man and stated to him that he needed to meet CruShow if he wanted to learn how to get paid and to become a professional!!! And the rest is history!!! We want to thank the whole team that held it down for backing your teammate!! Job well done!!!

We have had the pleasure of working with .cdc on their newly built apartment building on the borderline of both of our communities and ! Our was hired to instruct with both communities to create the history of both communities starting from the early 1920s, the area we call Little Tokyo was the established social and commercial center of immigrant Japanese communities who fished, farmed, and sold produce across Southern California. It housed a multiethnic population in its 30-odd hotels and rooming houses – per the 1940 census, the neighborhood’s population was approximately one-third Japanese (concentrated around East First Street), with the remaining two-thirds consisting of white, Black, and Spanish-surnamed residents.

But beginning in April 1942 after President Roosevelt’s approval of Executive Order 9066, all ethnic Japanese in the region, immigrant and citizen alike, were “evacuated,” first to nearby assembly centers and then to concentration camps in the interior.

Within months, due to another executive order (8802) barring discrimination in hiring on the basis of race in the nation’s defense plants, African American war workers began moving to Western cities for jobs in shipbuilding and aircraft manufacturing. By mid-1943, an average of 5,500 African Americans were arriving in Los Angeles every month. There’s more history that consists about this subject but with this information being valuable it was a must to depict the culture of both Japanese and Afro Americans in this mural!! Because of the early redlining it seems ironic that we are partnering up with a organization like Little Tokyo Service Center | Umeya Project Renderings
The Umeya is a new 7-story, 100% affordable housing complex in Downtown LA (Skid Row/Little Tokyo border) at 414 S. Crocker Street, offering 175 studio, 1, and 2-bedroom units for low-income and formerly unhoused residents. Completed in late 2025, it features 13,000 sq ft of community space, our mural, and is all-electric!! This is SKIDTOKYO!!!

On January 26th, a bunch of us from the community came out to support the long‑overdue follow‑through on a voter‑mandated Prop K commitment - the City’s 1996 obligation to bring Firehouse  #23 back to life as a public Arts and Cultural Center for our neighborhood.

Most of us hadn’t stepped inside the Firehouse in well over a decade, but some in our group carry memories of events there going back to the early ’90s.

Where things stand now: The project is still in Phase 1, which covers external rehabilitation, seismic upgrades, a new elevator and stairs, and core infrastructure like plumbing and electrical. This phase looks close to wrapping up and is expected to finish around October.

Phase 2 will be the exciting part: the full interior design and build‑out based on our community’s programming wish‑list. This includes music studio space, exhibit areas, fine‑arts rooms, a kitchen, and more, all shaped through our meetings with Lisa Davis of the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA). Toward the end of the year, the City will put out a call for architectural firms to submit proposals. There’s also a chance the interior work could be done by City union crews; the General Services Department (GSD) workers currently on site seem to have grown genuinely fond of the building, and their connection to the project shows.

We weren’t allowed to take photos inside, but we did get a group shot outside, which is attached. Representatives from Doodles Without Borders, LA Poverty Department, Urban Voices, and the Sidewalk Project were in the house - the FIRE house, that is. More updates as soon as we get them

Than you for the update
Katherine, Hayk, and Henriette
