Stella has lived in Koreatown with her family for 18 years, moving from San Bernardino when she was two. Her father is a music teacher at Robert F. Kennedy High School and operated shops in the community prior to his teaching job. The biggest changes Stella had seen in the area were more foreigners from other parts of Los Angeles visiting the shops and restaurants. Her mother, Anna, said she felt the same way and many of those changes, she said, happened in the 80s. Stella added that the area has a similar look to South Korea but more in comparison to the countryside where it is more rundown, and there are more single story buildings . The larger cities in South Korea are more dominated by large buildings. The biggest change Stella said she would want to see is for more Korean Americans to get out of the bubble of Koreatown. Many of them become very comfortable there and don’t really feel the need to learn English. She added that she would also want to see more recreation centers to provide more activities for young people. She said kids don’t have anything to do so they spend most of their time at PC Bangs, Internet game cafes, where they will play PC games for hours. She said many young people will also go to the bars that don’t check I.D. cards. Anna said if she had enough money, she would build a multistory building with a cafe, swimming pool, and music hall to provide activities for young people. Other than cafes, Koreatown doesn’t have many establishments that provide those kinds of amenities
