Aloha's Closing: It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce that as of March 14, 2000, Aloha Grocery closed after 44 years of business. We wish the Uyehara family much love and happiness in their future and thank them for generously giving their wall to the community.

Mago's Closing: On November 11, 2000, Mago's Famous Hamburgers closed. Directly across the street from the Mural, many of the mural painters spent Saturdays having banana chocolate shakes and teriyaki avocado chicken burritos and tacos. We will miss Mago's, which has been in the Centinela neighborhood for over 30 years. Marina Mago's restaurant also closed in Summer 2002.

Please patronize Angel Maid Bakery, Sally's Beauty Salon, Sakura's Sushi, and other small businesses on the Centinela strip!

Mural address: Former site of Aloha Grocery, 4515 Centinela Avenue, Los Angeles, CA. On Centinela Avenue between Washington and Culver Boulevards (cross street Short Avenue).
