Little Ethiopia

My mom, sis, and I are going to California on Wednesday to see Brandi graduate.  We are so excited and proud of her.  One of the many places we will visit in the short three days we will be there is "Little Ethiopia" in LA.  Apparently, it has the highest population of Ethiopians in the world outside of Ethiopia!  I can't wait.  Here is a paragraph about it:

Little Ethiopia is located in the heart of Los Angeles and yet sprawl it does not. Even Washington D.C.'s acclaimed Adam's Morgan, the unofficial seat of Ethiopian diasporadom, cannot boast of having the same number and variety of businesses on a street less than a fifth of a mile (0.8 km) long. Fourteen Ethiopian-owned businesses - six restaurants, two travel agencies, two markets, one hair salon, one insurance company, one café and one boutique - flank Fairfax Avenue between Olympic Boulevard and Whitworth Drive. Three other Ethiopian businesses on Pico Boulevard - a restaurant, a printer and a grocery store - add to the tally. - Branna Mag - 2002.
