The exterior serves to obscure the retail activity going on inside. I'd love it if there were some in-your-face banzai graphics to give some life to the drab exterior. Heck, even some colorful advertising would be an improvement. Historically, Little Tokyo has been a tad too sedate for its own good. Yep, it seems like they are putting it together. I recall decades ago reading about a brainstorming effort in Little Tokyo to overcome perceptions that it wasn't safe. One idea was to install a life-size Godzilla replica in the community. I loved the idea! Imagine every time you visited Little Tokyo, Godzilla was lurking in the background. Alas, it never even made it beyond the brainstorm. 'Twas a pity, as all little boys understand.
