Good evening to everyone. I thought I would sneak in a brief article about a legendary San Francisco neighborhood known as Chinatown.
The Chinatown District is located in the northeast quadrant of San Francisco and extends along Broadway from the eastern entrance of the Broadway Tunnel to Columbus Avenue and along Kearny Street from Columbus to Sacramento Street. This district also includes portions of Commercial Street between Montgomery Street and Grant Avenue and portions of Grant Avenue between Bush and California Streets.
The portions of Broadway, Kearny and Commercial Streets and Grant Avenue in this district are transitional edges or entries to Chinatown. North and east of the two blocks of Broadway contained in this district are North Beach and the Broadway Entertainment Districts. Kearny and Columbus Streets are close to intensive office development in the Downtown Financial District.
Both Grant Avenue and Jackson Street provide important pedestrian entries to Chinatown. Generally, this district has more potential for added retail and commercial development than other parts of Chinatown.
