    233 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 150 Santa Monica, CA 90401 310.451.4488 phrn·i;:, 310.451.5279 fax November 20, 2017 Ms. Lisa Trifiletti Trifiletti Consulting, Inc. 1541 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 560 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Subject: ESA's Statement of Qualifications for the Proposed Clippers Arena in the City of Inglewood, California Dear Ms. Trifiletti: The City of Inglewood's continued revitalization is tied in part to its emerging role as a sports and entertainment destination. This transformation began with the opening of the newly renovated Forum Arena in 2014, continued by the current construction of the Rams/Chargers Stadium, soon to be the largest in the nation, and would culminate with development of the Clippers Arena. From the perspective of the Clippers, a new arena in Inglewood will eliminate the scheduling challenges posed by sharing the Staples Center with the Lakers, Sparks, and NHL Kings. Further, by building a state-of-the-art, privately funded arena, the Clippers can influence every aspect of the game-day experience, including parking, logistics, food, seating, commerce, broadcasting, and much more. While a new arena will have benefits to both the Clippers and the City, this project will be pursued under the extremely watchful eye of the owners of the Forum, who see th is as direct competition to their operations; nearby private business, who would be required to give up land forthe arena; and local residents, who have voiced concerns about gentrification and rising rents. Accordingly, both the City and the Clippers require an environmental consulting firm who has an unmatched portfolio of preparing Environmental Impact Reports (El Rs) for high-profile sports stadiums and arenas, and an outstanding track-record for legal defensibility.

  • World War Ii Internment Camp Survivors
    WORLD WAR II INTERNMENT CAMP SURVIVORS: THE STORIES AND LIFE EXPERIENCES OF JAPANESE AMERICAN WOMEN Precious Vida Yamaguchi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Ph.D., Advisor Sherlon Pack-Brown, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda D. Dixon, Ph.D. Lousia Ha, Ph.D. Ellen Gorsevski, Ph.D. © 2010 Precious Vida Yamaguchi All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 required all people of Japanese ancestry in America (one-eighth of Japanese blood or more), living on the west coast to be relocated into internment camps. Over 120,000 people were forced to leave their homes, businesses, and all their belongings except for one suitcase and were placed in barbed-wire internment camps patrolled by armed police. This study looks at narratives, stories, and experiences of Japanese American women who experienced the World War II internment camps through an anti-colonial theoretical framework and ethnographic methods. The use of ethnographic methods and interviews with the generation of Japanese American women who experienced part of their lives in the United State World War II internment camps explores how it affected their lives during and after World War II. The researcher of this study hopes to learn how Japanese American women reflect upon and describe their lives before, during, and after the internment camps, document the narratives of the Japanese American women who were imprisoned in the internment camps, and research how their experiences have been told to their children and grandchildren.

Currently, the An- schutz Entertainment Group (AEG) is leading a proposal for a new, state-of-the-art, 68,000-seat outdoor football stadium in downtown Los Angeles, along with a significant renovation of the neighboring convention center, in order to return the NFL to the city.
