★★★Mark Wang

A cool historical community-based center, the art program here is more Latino based art here. The building used to be an old school building use to be the Justin E. Dow Elementary School building, built in 1912. Despite the improvement they have done but it is still not as handicap friendly To enter the building there is a flight of stairs and they did build a ramp from an side entrance. But the ramp to go up inside the building is very steep, if you are in a wheelchair by yourself, it is very difficult to go up or go down without flying down. There are no ramps to go up to the second floor. The restroom on the first floor is not handicap friendly either as there is a step you have to get up to use the restroom and there is no grab bars and the sink and the toilet is so close, it is very tight inside. I love they have convert the classroom to different studio where you can take different class these offer here. I love the events they have here and the class but I wish they will improve on the accessibility for this place.

A special thank you note to MECA and to their Armando Silva for sharing an overview of Dia de los Muertos to my kids and I. This was a very special evening for us, not only to celebrate in Mexican culture but to remember all of our deceased family and friends as well.
