The Boston History Project: Boston's Chinatown

[@sharonmchugh7730]

Fabulous Anthony; i adore my Boston full of everyone

[@fentonb9520]

The Piafang Gate was a gift to people of Boston from the Taiwanese government with two Chinese proverb inscriptions, everything under the sun belongs to the people, A good person is loyal honest and polite

[@CT-mv5hx]

Exactly. It’s actually from Taiwan government, or the so called Republic of China (ROC) government, and that’s why the flag hanged on the gate is the flag of ROC instead of PRC.

Not withstanding other mistakes, the image at 3:31 is of New York's Doyers Street, not Boston...

In recent years china town has become a popular place for Vietnams and Cambodian migrants. Even today it continues to serve recently arrived immigrants from east Asia.

[@stevengallanter665]

Not really. The recent Asian arrivals are Japanese and Taiwanese students who attend Tufts.

On a Friday Fall night,we had dinner on Washington St...We tried entering one of the popular restaurants but it was a full house so we dined across the street...Came out satisfied!

My favorite Chinese eatery was by the Floating Hospital, on Harrison Avenue.

[@OllamhDrab]

Heehee, my favorite was actually this at-the-time-makeshift looking food stand more in some back alley spaces for the workers, when I was a bike messenger I'd often get a little of my favorite lo mein in town from a nice lady who couldn't pronounce my name. :) Kinda wonder if it's still there. At the time they seemed to be renovating the place as they went that particular summer, so I don't even know the name. :)

[@dgbo69]

Does he have to say “persuasion” when describing who lives there?

[@philiplow6016]

Chinese Orientals are Chinese presumably.

[@phucyouse5316]

I castled on their chessboard when I was minimalisting through, interesting cultural confluence streams there.

[@jnagarya519]

The Chinatown "Gateway" was not a gift from "the gov't of China". It was a gift of the gov't of Taiwan.

Detroit needs a Chinatown Japantown little Saigon

[@nickeldime1691]

There are rumors they are working on one in Detroit. There is a 142 acre empty land located near a city named Ferndale. In which the part of Detroit borders the suburbs. There is pretty huge Asian population throughout Oakland County. But Detroit is going to need some time to prosper again.

sam philip Ferndale has nothing to do with Detroit. Two its not apart of Wayne County where Detroit is located at
