On The Job-Chinatown

Home to one of the largest Chinese communities in the US, Chinatown is located squarely in the middle of the city. Founded back during the boomtown days of the Babary Coast, this was a refuge for all those that came in search of work. Stockton Street cuts right through all the shops and restaurants and is the main throughfare with public transporation providing access

Running parallel to its bigger brother, Grant Avenue is narrower and shorter than Stockton but no less lined with gift shops, restaurants, and retail.



Broadway is another major artery running east-west. Looking east from the intersection at Columbus, many bars and strip joint are still present in this area


Lastly, looking toward the west we find the Broadway tunnel that provides access to eventually the Pacific Ocean
