*** UPDATE ***
I paid a visit to the bazaar, and my, was it hopping! Tons of librarian-types wandering around and collecting information. I learned that the Filipino American Library does bus tours of Historic Filipino Town and that there is a Los Angeles sports museum and archive set up after the 84 Olympic Games in L.A. Interesting.
