Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Great watch, lots of interesting history! And I love me my Chinese Mai Tais at the Li Po Lounge!
Awesome video! Well produced !
As a 67 year old wasp who grew up in SF, China town was special 😀still is.
What a rollercoaster of emotions watching that. Tragic and important to know.
Very good documentary! I wish the present day owners of the pagoda building on California and Grant (not the one above Dim Sum Corner) will do a better job matching the color scheme with the pagoda right across it. It was designed as a pair.
Chinatown was spared, but it was an exception. Other districts, were not so fortunate. They lost everything.
Grew up in chinatown.
Didnt know these aspects as well. Lots of TIL here.
