The side of the Korean supermarket "HK Super" hasn't changed much in a the past couple of years, which is pretty wild considering all of the MS13 tags all over the area. I found a cool shot of the building from 2005 by Piancita which shows nearly the same art, except on the far left side.

But just because it's been there for a while doesn't mean it will continue to be. The above notice says that the grocery will be torn down and replaced with condos, a new market, and other mixed-use business. It doesn't give a date and the inside of the market is jumping, but if you want to see it in person (and it's worth it), check it out quickly.
