Re: Kite Coffee Shop in South LA reopens
XLNT!
I have some pics on my site from when the place was closed from a few years ago. I thought this place was a goner. Great to see it's reuse. I need to get over there and take pics of the place now.

Man, I get depressed too often after visiting this site. I was so into this house when it went on the market. I watched for months as it sat, wondering why someone with an appreciation for this gem had not snatched it up and gave it the loving restoration it deserved. Maybe one day I will be able to...
