You won't see any tents or people defacating in front of you. One of the huge upsides is the gorgeous view of the old church right on the corner of the park. There is a youth center so there is always plenty of security around. The major downside is they only have a lot for handicap parking so expect to pay at the meters.

I attended the Shabbat Services there which were very nice with great Rabbis conducting the services.

How come I have never visited the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center till now even if I…read morevisit Little Tokyo a few times a year? The answer is simple, they close on the weekends! I happened to check it out during Nisei Week festivities when it was finally opened during the weekend to see some of their exhibits located on various floors, mostly pottery. Impressions? I like the idea of the center, it is very needed in the community, the exhibits were very interesting but not that enjoyable to browse, some had chains to keep you away from the art, meaning the furthest away I have ever been in an art gallery and it made it hard to see details. Also, staff didn't try to talk to you, explain, they were talking to each other, it seemed liked you crushed a party! The place is outdated and I usually don't like to use this term, I like older things. But here, especially the restrooms need a makeover, sinks in particular are in terrible shape. The bathrooms need to be cleaner, they were smelly and lacked paper towel. Free to visit, they do charge for some events (tea ceremony), hard to find it opened, though!

I attended a motivational talk yesterday with Renaissance club and Joe Huff at the Primal Moves and…read morehad a great experience. The worst part is parking, parking sucks, if you don't get lucky that someone is leaving when you're arriving you will have to park farther and walk. I got lucky enough though but later I saw multiple people walking in the hot sun to find their cars streets over. Upon entering we were momentarily confused because there is a small tea/cafe type area in the front, but if you walk past this to the next room that's the main area where no shoes are allowed. I'm assuming that this must be where they hold workout classes but yesterday it was set up with these amazingly comfortable couch cushion type seating as well as regular chairs. I saw that they have a patio area, and a huge rack of all sizes of weights. If they were closer to me I would definitely try them out for excersize. The opener from the event had an absolutely amazing singing voice, he made me feel like I'm in a monastery listening to some mesmerizing chanting. If he ever reads this I think it would have been even better if he didn't stop every few seconds to try to get the crowd to repeat after him, it broke the mesmerization each time he did this, it would have been much more powerful if he went straight through nonstop. Acoustics in this building are great. Next was Joe Huff, he told the motivating story of how he ended up where he is today, and it all started from one event that cascaded into more events, etc. It was a great speech and we were gifted with his book that I'm looking forward to reading. Lastly we got to hear from the owner of Renaissance club which was a very nice speech, it is evident that Renaissance is his passion and truly brings him joy. Overall a great venue for such an event, spacious, comfortable, and everyone was friendly. Thank you for a great experience.
