Neighborhood Up-Date

L. A. Times, getting it wrong again.
Just behind it is a small shopping plaza with a Salvadoran restaurant, a pizza joint, a former Korean cigarette shop and a restaurant that serves teriyaki chicken, burritos and boba drinks. Across the street are more Korean- and Mexican-themed businesses.
We can tell you now that the former Korean cigarette shop has already become a salon de belleza. Also across the street are California Donuts, a laundromat & a Hawai'ian BBQ. (Lovely Spam®, wonderful Spam®.)
The nearest store with a clear connection to Bangladesh, Bengal Liquors, is a block away. All told, there are fewer than a dozen shops owned by or catering to Bangladeshis along this working-class commercial strip flanked by apartment buildings.
Well, the other liquor store on the four-block stretch is also operated by Bangladeshis. As is the Chevron station that's just west of the four blocks.
