“Japantown is so peaceful. When you walk around the neighborhood it’s so quiet. There’s (sic) so many trees and statues. Everything’s so beautiful. It’s inviting to go to the mall and the bookstores and all the shops. My favorite is a tiny little shop under a bookstore with a bunch of little fans and flowers out front.”
—Jeff Lao, Community Youth Center San Francisco Employment Specialist
