Crenshaw / Leimert Park Soul Food corridor

The Leimert Park history PDF ^[1] and the View Park Historic District page ^[2] discuss the broader African American cultural and residential history of the area, but do not mention any specific restaurants. The Wikipedia article on the 1992 Los Angeles riots ^[3] and the ABC7 news piece ^[4] cover the unrest itself but provide no data on which restaurants predated it or their subsequent status. No specific information about the opening dates, closures, or relocations of individual soul food restaurants in the Crenshaw/Leimert Park/View Park corridor is available from these sources, nor do they list the specific restaurants named (Dulan’s on Crenshaw, Bludso’s, Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles, My Two Cents, Hot & Cool Café, Stevie’s on the Strip). To answer which of these restaurants pre-date the 1992 unrest or which have closed or relocated, sources such as restaurant-specific historical records, local business directories from before and after 1992, news articles about each restaurant’s history, or interviews with the owners would be needed.
