Watched the #RoseParade on #KTVU2 because it was on & I didn't want to bother changing the channel.
SF's float (the 1st in 50 yrs in the parade) was one of the first. It won a prize for something but didn't look all that interesting to me. 🤷

Yeah. Saw it on #KTVU2 this morning & it was a #NothingBurger! 🤦

Just watched the #ChineseNewYearParade on #KGO7.
It was the 1st time KGO covered the parade -- #KTVU2 always covered it in the past -- & IMO KGO did a poor job of it
The commentators were out of synch in describing the various parade participants, poorly interviewed rhe Miss Chinatown winner w/no mention of the other participants & totally blew the coverage of the finale -- barely showing anything of -- Gum Loong-- one of the longest & biggest dragons -- & shot the fireworks too close up.
Very disappointing.☹️
Glad I've seen so many other CNY parades in the past on TV & in person, so it really didn't matter to me but I feel for those who were seeing it for the 1st time on TV or online who were not given a better idea of what the parade is actually like. Oh well . . .🤷

#KTVU2 #AAPI #SF #Chinatown #ChineseFood #ChineseRestaurants
Just discovered this morning that KTVU has a dedicated AAPI webpage that you can find below.
There are not a lot of stories/articles presented there but what is there is very interesting & inciteful to me, as it should be to anyone interested in the Chinese American experience.
My favorite is Amber Lee's "Chinatown" which provides a unique "insiders" look into SF Chinatown -- it's history & it's restaurants & style of cooking Chinese food (which is unique to SF).

Watching it brought back a lot of memories for me, particularly the banquets that my family held in the 50-60's at The Far East Cafe (in the video) & Shanghai Low Restaurant (long gone).
Of historical note are the video re: Bruce Lee's roots in SF (the Chinese Historical Society in SF is holding a special exhibit re: Bruce now) & the article re: Iris Chang's book, The "Rape of Nanking" (a copy of which is sitting on my bookshelf).
