Cherry Land

 
Pictured here is Tameno Habu Kobata standing in front of her family's Cherry Land flower shop during its peak in 1941. By the end of the year, the business would be closed and the Kobata family interned, along with most other Japanese-Americans in the Northwest. Buildings along this portion of Jackson were later torn down to make way for I-5, which stands over most of the shop's old footprint today.
