Community Garden in South Central LA faces the back hoe of the world's largest employer

From a reader who wishes to remain anonymous:

"A 14 acre community garden in South Central Los

Angeles may be shut down and replaced by a warehouse
for Wal-Mart. Eviction notices have just been served.
The google maps links shows how unique this place is:
it's an island of green in a sea of concrete. I hope
you find this story worthy of writing about, because
if this is lost, it will be a sad day for people who
can't afford to lose much more."

On the google map, be sure to click "Satellite" so you can see this island of green amonst the sea of concrete.
