Little Tokyo Robbery
The search for a Little Tokyo mugger, who has targeted elderly women, has intensified with a $50,000 reward now being offered by the city. The City Council is offering the reward for information leading to the identification and apprehension of the person responsible for the assault of a 68 year-old, blind woman in Little Tokyo. A nearby surveillance camera captured video of the incident, seen above. The woman, a 68-year-old retired resident of the neighborhood, was pushing her walker down the sidewalk around noon when a short man in a long white T-shirt snuck up behind her and ripped a jade pendants gold necklace off her neck. The mugger also had a small backpack and a baseball cap turned backwards. Police believe the same suspect committed a similar robbery on Aug. 1 against a 79-year-old Little Tokyo resident. Anyone with information on this crime can call Central Division detectives at (213) 485-3294. ©Los Angeles Downtown News. Reprinting items retrieved from the archives are for personal use only.

First and Hope
From DTLA Notebook: Elwood's 1996 video "1st and Hope," eschews the modern skate video editing mantra of trick, cut, trick, cut, trick, cut, and instead celebrates the improvised lines skaters dream up as they roll high speed down their invented street courses. A trio of skaters slaloms down Grand Avenue; they make their way to Little Tokyo and pop in for ramen and beers at Daikokuya; they skate the pedestrian bridge over Figueroa street, playing flatland games with Pizzanista's Salman Agah; you get the sense that they're going somewhere. That's how people skate. The sport, to me, was always first and foremost a means of exploring and being engaged with the fabric and geography of one's city.
