Starbuck's part deaux

The Holiday Bowl Center, featuring a Starbuck's, Walgreen's, Denny's and a Big 5, is the exclamation point to the revitalization of Crenshaw Boulevard that has been going on slowly for years. The historic center was created by freed Japanese internment prisoners. The coffee shop and signage were save. "Given the Bowl’s location on Crenshaw, it was important in the desegregation of Los Angeles, as it served an Anglo American, African American, and Japanese American clientele. The coffee shop, for example, featured grits, udon, chow mein, and hamburgers." -- according to the People's Guide to Los Angeles. Well now a second Starbuck's is about to open at Crenshaw and Vernon, a few blocks from my house. Thanks to lottaliving.com for the photos and Magic Johnson for the coffee. But please support the mom-and-pop shops first.
