  • I walk through the city of Gardena, located in Los Angeles County, CA. Gardena is located in the South Bay area, and is home to the largest percentage of Japanese-Americans in California. I start off at Redondo Beach Boulevard, make my way down Western Avenue, and then head over to the Gardena City Hall.

    I grew up in Garden and went to Chapman Elementary back in the early 60s. Our family doctor was a fellow named Kobayashi- A chain-smoking GP who inspired me to go to med school. I loved Gardena. Don't know if the greatest Italian Deli is still around- Giuliano's made the best food on the planet. My mom bought all my cub and boy scout uniforms at the Gardena Dept store on Gardena Blvd.

    me of my time living in LA. I lived in Huntington Beach back in the mid 90’s. I would often pick up my Mexican girlfriend, who lived on Marine Ave in Gardena, in my beat up VW convertible. Good times! I’m now living in New Zealand and married to a beautiful kiwi girl with 3 kids.

    My favorite place in LA county. A lot of the restaurants appear to be empty but they actually have rear entrances. Azuma, Otafuku, all of Tozai Plaza… all have rear entrances. If you visit during dinner time, you’ll find yourself on a waiting list.

    I live in Gardena it is a great place. There are two former racetracks Carrell Speedway & Ascot. The channel Freeway City has as I recall an interview with the son of the Ascot owner. Ascot was referred to in the Disney Animation "Cars" there's a car auction lot there now right across the mostly dry river from Home Depot.

    Don't get me wrong. It's still a great city. But the African-American population was much higher in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. That's the era I had lived there. Right off of 135th in New Hampshire.

    Great narrating. The city of Gardena is way better than the city of Los Angeles. I love the Japanese shops in Gardena and the mall on Western and Artesia.
    I actually visited Japan (Nihon) in 2006. It is like a taste of Japan in Gardena and even in Little Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles. Only people who been to Japan and are from Japan can relate to that.

    Live here all my life . The areas you shown are the side close to Torrance . Safer area . Go to the other side of Redondo beach blvd. That’s where mostly Hispanics and blacks live , closer to south central . More dangerous fosure. Gardena shotgun crip and Gardena pay bacc crip occupy that side . This side is Gardena 13
