On March 1, EsoWon is moving about 10 feet north on Degnan Blvd. to a smaller store, just one store away from where they are now. 

"We are excited about the move," owner Jamses Fugate said. "It's less space and cheaper rent. This move will help us greatly."

Fugate asks the community to help - stop by and make an offer and he'll put you to work.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a documentary at USC about life in Leimert Park and am currently looking for photos of the community from past eras - 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, and beyond.

If you have any photos (or video) that you would be willing to share, please contact me at webster.loria@gmail.com

Thanks in advance!
