Chinatown Community Development After 9/11

Julie Huang shared this event with us.  Here’s an excerpt:

You are invited to join your neighbors on Tuesday, March 27, beginning at 7:00 pm at Mariners’ Temple Baptist Church, to share your personal perspective on Chinatown’s development.  Did the events of 9/11 change the direction of this neighborhood forever?  Have some things improved?  What has been neglected?  Is there a unified vision of Chinatown that we can all set our sights on and work toward?
