Description
Full title:Mrs. Kura Kai, Issei from Heart Mountain, operator of the New King Hotel on lower Broadway, Los Angeles, finds no trouble at all in getting re-established. Her son, Willie Kai, is in the Army. Mrs. Kai is a widow. Mrs. Kai's hotel is one of the old-timers in the old business section of Los Angeles, near Little Toyko but not in it. It has 50 rooms, all of them full, of course. Like all hotels, rents are controlled by OPA; she gets about $3.50 a week for a room. Most of the tenants are Caucasians, with some Filipinos. I didn't know everyone in Los Angeles would be so nice, she says. I haven't had any trouble at all. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Los Angeles, California.
