L.A.'s Secret Chinatown Has Only One Restaurant Left - But New Neighbors Are Arriving

On the surface, the Los Angeles Chinatown seems to be just like other historical Chinatown, such as in San Francisco, New York and others that were founded in the 19th century and have survived to this day. But Los Angeles is unique in one major respect: the current Chinatown dates only from the 1930s and effectively began as a movie set-esque ethnic theme park for tourists, with very few Chinese people actually living in the area.
