  1. #SF #Housing #AAPI

    My family owns an #SRO (a single room occupancy "hotel") in #Chinatown & has owned it since the 1940's.

    SROs are a uniquely San Francisco type of residence that have been in use long before the 1980's as the intro of this #PBS video "Home is a Hotel" states but whether you're familiar with SROs or not this video about life in SROs in SF is worth watching.

  6. "#Graphicnovelist #JulianVoloj was walking through #Manhattan’s #Chinatown when he stumbled across the cemetery of the #UnitedStates’ oldest #Jewish community, #ShearithIsrael. This inspired him to write #Remnants, an interpretation of the story of 23 #Jews from #Brazil who established #NorthAmerica’s first congregation.

  10. Hen-do detour through Gerrard Street

    I caught these two coming out of the crush on Gerrard Street, London, last summer. The blonde in the GANNI tee looks like she's mid-anecdote; her friend, in a white off-shoulder dress with a tiny veil pinned over a leopard headband, has the slightly stunned grin of someone three hours into a hen weekend and starting to enjoy it. London Chinatown is a brilliant place to wander in a bridal veil. The pavement is so packed nobody quite registers it, and you can stand under a lantern eating […]
