To Weave A Name: E Haku Inoa Long Beach Screening at Long Beach Art Theater

May 11, 2013 from 3pm to 4:15pm
In this hour-long documentary film a young multi-racial Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) woman, filmmaker Christen Hepuakoa Marquez, sets out to discover the meaning of her incredibly lengthy Hawaiian name from her estranged mother whose diagnosis as schizophrenic in the 80′s caused their family separation. Christen discovers not only herself within the name, but gains a whole new perspective on the idea of sanity and how cultural differences can sometimes muddle its definition.See More

Change Is A Foot

Driving by the old site of Brooks College last week, it was a trip to see the front building being completely torn down. I spent a good ten years kicking around this place as as student, teacher, and staff; so this scene made me stop and wonder... how long until I'm the old guy down at the bar talking about "I remember when"???




I wonder what the neighbors think. I know many of them never really liked having Brooks next door, but will they be any happier having Long Beach State dorms???



I do know for sure that the businesses close by are excited, the guys at my favorite pizza place Valentinoes ask me every time how long until they open up. I guess the article in the LBPost.com the other day about the idea of integrating a college campus into the downtown area really would help stimulate the economy down there...

That's heartbreaking. I too worked at Brooks College for a good 4+ years and met many great people. I tend to avoid the area now since leaving in late 2008 only because its a sad scene.

Brooks College did alot for the surrounding community and will truly be missed.

thats an interesting way to stimulate the economy down there... Yea I remember when I went for an interview at that school because I wanted to be into game design, but I just wanted to write stories for games not like design levels. Jenny on our citylife members is a writer for LBPOST.COM
