What Happened to Pgh’s Chinatown?
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
It took more than a decade and four separate appeals to the state to get formal recognition of Pittsburgh’s historic Chinatown neighborhood, which city officials decimated in the 1910s and ’20s with the downtown construction of the Boulevard of the Allies. We’re throwing it back to a conversation one year ago this week with Marian Lein, president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the OCA, to learn more about our shared history and ways to honor that Pan-Asian heritage today. You can check out Charlotte, the new baby gorilla at the Pittsburgh Zoo, here. Want some more Pittsburgh news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter.
