A handbill, passed to me blindly and wordlessly by the seated fellow with the earphones, elaborated that the folks at East America are "agencias de empleo." It sported a smattering of English and Korean, too, apparently intended to steer hopefuls to the office. The jobs board itself included very little explication — if you have to ask, you can't handle the "teriyaki" — but enough to tempt some busperson-to-be with the promise of "all you can eat." The best-paying position, posted on a golden slip at bottom right, offered $3,400 (per month?) to someone expert in the ways of stir-frying vegetables, Sichuan style.
Also shown, from within eyeshot of the jobs board: a detail, from a badly deteriorated mural, of the former RKO Keith's Theater several blocks to the north. As of 2021 (and likely earlier), the mural is no more.
