The Li family ran a junk shop right on the corner of Jackson and Kearny Street, under the International Hotel. The kid in the box is Kingson Li. That's his mother in the background. Today Kingson is the owner and CEO of What's Up Dog, a chain of hot dog stands. This photo was taken in 1977 right after the eviction when tenants were allowed to return to retreive belongings. I wonder how much stuff the Li family took with them. It was mostly junk.
