There is an intersection in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles that was designated "Persian Square" a few years ago. Immediately across the street is a 7-Eleven with a surface parking lot. Wouldn't it be incredible if the very large Persian community got together to purchase that parcel and build a small park on it? A place for a statue, trees, and a water feature and some benches. It could be a community asset rather than an eye sore.
