Wow, SF is really flush with cash. A $2M bathroom remodel? How big is the bathroom? Why is it so expensive? $2M just for remodelling an existing public bathroom. Are they going to lock it up to forbid people to use it after all?
Next time, I need to visit this fancy bathroom. Does it have an address for gps?
Travel is not down…Try booking a flight…I dont see any deals…Maybe Chinatown doesn’t appeal to tourists like it used to…Who buys touristy kitschy crap anyway?
With luggage restrictions nobody has room to carry touristy crap on the plane. …
Frank Wong has spent the past four decades creating extraordinary, miniature dioramas of the Chinatown he remembers from his youth. His replicas are a portal into a long-ago San Francisco, a time when life was difficult for many in the Chinese American community. “Forever, Chinatown” is a meditation on memory, community and one man’s artistic legacy.
A story on Boston’s Chinatown…hey, it could happen here (I didn’t think so myself, but if people start throwing money at old owners whose heirs don’t want to come back to Chinatown Chinatown SF might slowly change)
I still haven’t visited China Live yet even though I went by our family building in Chinatown. Personally, I really don’t think there is a sustainable market for these uber high end places in SF Chinatown. Geez, R&G Lounge is about the max I think…
