L.A. Last Juke Joint

​

 

 

In the heart of South Central, Los Angeles, lies it's hidden last juke joint.  During the day, people congregate here as if it were a community center.  There are even make shift rooms that people in transition can rent out for cheaper prices.  However, on the weekends, it turns into a juke joint where people play the blues and revel in the music.  The crowd consists of people mostly from the neighborhood and there is a family atmosphere that draws the people together.  In a place like this, people do not have to worry about gang violence that surrounds the area.  They are free to enjoy themselves without the anxiety of the outside world and the problems that face the inner city.
