#chinatown — Public Fediverse posts

Yes, we need to get rid of #unsustainable #parking lots, but not replace them with a #casino! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/24/new-yorks-chinatown-casino-fears #chinatown #queens #gambling #cars #climate #airquality #flushing

Skip the food, eat an #almond #cookie and absorb the atmosphere worth going for the experience but waiting on line is not worth it

When it first came out, I remember watching the movie #SuckerPunch. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t strike me as a great movie. I watched it again last night. Yes: it’s not #ChinaTown, but there’s a lot more to Sucker Punch than I gave it credit for on first viewing.

Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).

Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.

Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

The Edmonton Chinatown Summer Festival runs from 11 AM to 7:30 PM today in Chinatown. (I'll be one of the "dignitaries" speaking at 12:30 PM, but suspect speeches from politicians will be least exciting parts of the event.) There will be food trucks, street venders, and entertainment, not just by Chinese performers, but by Indigenous, Mexican, Filipino and Trinidadian cultural groups. https://asianheritagemonth.ca/event/chinatown-yeg-summer-festival/ #Edmonton #yeg #Chinatown #ChinatownSummerFestival #Qixi

"My father & his family lived in what was called Old Chinatown, down where #UnionStationLA is. And they were given eviction notices to leave because they were going to build the train station." https://exhibits.lapl.org/chinatown/exclusion/
