A new Chinatown for Baltimore?
Thanks to Kate for brining this article from the Daily Record to? our attention.? Chinatown in Baltimore – sounds like a great idea.
When most people look at the area surrounding the intersection of North Charles Street and North Avenue, they see vacant row houses, a few large condemned buildings, a fried chicken restaurant and cracked, buckling pavement.
When Tony Cheng looked at it, he saw Chinatown.
The Washington-based restaurateur and businessman, who once owned a restaurant near Mount Vernon Place, has been buying up property in the Station North area of the city with the intention of attracting Chinese and other Asian business owners to a redeveloped arts and entertainment district.

Wow…what a great idea. This is extremely important to the vibrancy of our city. The condition of Baltimore’s original Chinatown (along Park Ave. on the west side) is really sad and is essentially only being held down by Chinatown Cafe (which has delicious food incidentally). It would be nice to see both the new and old Chinatowns thrive.
