Cool! Never seen a real china town before, looks great. Too bad they're all grainy, though.

VansTripp · January 8th, 2006, 04:06 AM

Not bad, it's nice chinatown.

612bv3 · January 8th, 2006, 05:10 AM

I just noticed that there's barely any people in your pictures. Chinatown is usually filled with people. Weird.

By the way, are there more pictures? It looks like you only visited a small part of the Oakland Chinatown.

you never knew this?

I thinks it's the 4th biggest Chinatown in the West Coast.

Well, sure Oakland has a Chinatown!

For block after block, the street signs are "bilingual."

Looking at the area nearest Oakland's downtown and the City Hall, it would appear that quite a few old buildings were razed to make room for the dreary concrete apartment buildings that now constitute part of Oakland's Chinatown. This doesn't mean in any way that they are all horrible: there are charming interior courtyards and pleasant public spaces in between.

This wonderful Art Deco building, on the other hand, fortunately survives:

If I remember correctly, I went on a wednesday morning and I could not take more pictures of Oakland's Chinatow because I ran out of time

You are welcome Whose Homepage, I'm glad you liked it.
Coming up...Oakland's Downtown

Apoc · January 9th, 2006, 04:59 AM

Ok I found a couple more pictures from SF and Oakland's Chinatown

Robert Stark · February 17th, 2006, 11:26 PM

Great Pics. By the way the unidentified building at US is the Sir Francis Drake Hotel.

612bv3 · February 18th, 2006, 01:30 AM

I posted these pictures on the other SF Picture Thread but never here. They were taken on July 30th, 2005.

VansTripp · February 18th, 2006, 02:46 AM

Awesome pic

StevenW · February 18th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Man! I do love my hometown of Baltimore, but I find myself coming back to San Francisco every time I can! To me it's the city that all other cities aspire to be. I'm in awe of some of those amazing pictures! Thanks, guys!
Please keep these pics coming.

Excellent pictures, there is no doubt in my mind that San Francisco is California's urban crown jewel.
