65th & Main | The Cleaners

In the ‘60s, my grandfather owned a cleaners on this corner, and my mother can recall her most vivid childhood memories in their home on 65th Street. You could see the backdoor of the cleaners from the front porch swing. An intersection that was once rich and flourishing is now a merely field of grass.

Manchester Avenue Elementary 

Orange Drive | Mid City Los Angeles

Regina Caeli High School | Compton, CA 1962-2002

My mother knew her high school no longer existed, but this initial visit landed a certain way. It was quiet there, desolate even. What was once a "beacon in the Compton community," has been labeled a local tragedy.
