San Francisco Chinatown Commercial Street With View of Ferry Building Tower R448
Commercial Street is a street in San Francisco, California that runs from Sansome Street to Grant Avenue. The eastern end of Commercial Street was originally the waterfront before it was filled in for real estate. It led to the Financial District and is the location of both the original San Francisco Mint, which is now the Pacific Heritage Museum, and the California headquarters for the Hudson's Bay Company. It is one of only two streets in San Francisco oriented directly toward the tower of the ferry building. Also of note, Commercial Street is showcased in the 1950 film noir thriller, Woman on The Run, directed by Norman Foster. The location in particular: Sullivan's Grotto, 776 Commercial Street --- Commercial Street side entrance of Eastern Bakery at 720 Grant Avenue. Parts of Commercial Street also contain circular designs of embedded brick taken from the street before the city paved the street. -wikipedia
The Chinatown centered on Grant Avenue and Stockton Street in San Francisco, California, is the oldest Chinatown in North America and the largest Chinese enclave outside Asia. It is also the oldest and largest of the four notable Chinatowns within the City. Since its establishment in 1848, it has been highly important and influential in the history and culture of ethnic Chinese immigrants in North America. Chinatown is an enclave that continues to retain its own customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity. There are two hospitals, several parks and squares, numerous churches, a post office, and other infrastructure. While recent immigrants and the elderly choose to live here because of the availability of affordable housing and their familiarity with the culture,[8] the place is also a major tourist attraction, drawing more visitors annually than the Golden Gate Bridge. -wikipedia
