The corner of Vermont Avenue and 24th Street near Koreatown in Los Angeles was named “Korean Cultural Center, Inc. Square” by city officials Saturday.
A Korean American community center was established across the street from the square in 1972. The building within the square currently houses a Korean church.
A proposal for the naming was first brought to suggestion by former City Coucilman Bernard Park and revived by City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson.
