Full title:The New Takaki Grocery at 3550 S. Normadie, Los Angeles, opened by George Takaki, Nisei, and his father Yoshihiro,
Issei. George's mother Miyono is with them. They live a few doors away at the new Methodist Hostel, and are looking for a
house. Before the ban in 1942, George, who is now 25, took business administration for two years at the University of Southern
California. When he returned to Los Angeles, March 30, from Manzanar, he looked around for opportunities and on June 12, opened
the grocery. It is well-stocked with a good line of canned goods, vegetables, meat, and other food stuffs. It also carries
shoyo sauce and miso, manufactured in Denver, Colorado. Its customers are Caucasian and Negro, plus a few Japanese-Americans
who have already returned to the 35th and Normandie neighborhood. George has no brothers or sisters and no wife. I meet some
very nice girls at the hostel, he said with a smile.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Los Angeles, California.
