Mayofeb2020,
Are you an Angelino?
I grew up in the area where the looting, and riots were last night. In fact I ordered from a store at the Grove just last month. They had the items I needed to finish my garage, now it’s been torn apart. The custom pillows I have were made at a small shop on Fairfax Avenue it’s owned by an elderly lady and Her daughter I did a lot of needle point, and this small shop would put the backing on the needlepoint to make it a finished product.
Sad to say their business is now gone. The fire that was started by looters took down the building the little business was in.
It looked like Fairfax high school had damage also. The Target store on Pico were hard hit, with looters. That location was where the original Midway hardware store once stood, and just blocks from my late grandparents grocery store was.
Too many memories for me, and I went to bed after 3:00 a.m. with hives.
I’m told the national guard is patrolling Los Angeles. I remember the 1965 riots in the same general area, it went on for days.
I can only hope the store owners carry good insurance, it could take years to reopen if ever.
The two shoe store FLIGHT CLUB and TORI K were ripped apart not to mention the jewelry store lost all the merchandise.
Nordstrom department store I’m sure will be back open soon. Their loss was small, but the RAY BAN eyeglass store was destroyed.
In the future I’m sure there will be more riots, it’s something law enforcement and fire departments expect.
