Week 4: Business

Monday, July 11
      Today, Kyle and I interviewed Peter and Kim Delevett about the businesses in Japantown, talking a lot about what they would like to see move into the empty spaces. Peter told us that the businesses bring people into the community, and serve as a supporting pillar for the survival of Japantown. Kim explained to us that the variety of businesses reflects the multi-ethnic community that has become evident as a result of changing times. According to the Delevetts, a cultural center, a hotel/Japanese-style bath house, a bookstore, or a grill would make a great addition to the business association, as these are things missing in the current Japantown. Talking to the Delevetts gave me a much needed perspective from people who actually live in the Japantown.
