I did not realize that the shoe would drop so fast EVICTED! US Marshals and a large crew of movers evicted... evacuated... cleared out GONE! DONE! the last Chinese soldier standing is no more Chinatown has very little Chinese left... maybe not enough to call it Chinatown... not even enough to be known as Chinablock oh no... say it is not so change not all change is good but change is inevitable bummer... the Gift Store was associated with a Kung Fu martial arts studio my guess... that is no more... maybe it will move... maybe it folded
