I was going to say Chinatown will never die, because it is historical, blah, blah, blah. But, Japantown is practically gone. In fact, I heard some saddening news the other day. I drove by Oppenheimer Park on my way to downtown. It was all fenced off. I asked my wife what the heck was going on. She told me Oppenheimer Park was under construction. That's why this year's Powell Street Festival was at McLean's Park. That wasn't the sad part. The Cherry Blossoms that were planted back in 1977 were Legacy Sakura. Here's the story.........
