Broadway in San Francisco (Chinatown district near North Beach)


Street Scene

Homeless white man, the lone character I have seen so far in this corner on a Thursday morning this week since I started coming here with husband last year. This is definitely not his territory as a homeless man. Usually they flock along Market and Financial district where most of them line up for food stamps at the nearby McAllister Street. Now seeing one here in Chinatown is the most unusual scene I have been exposed to so far. Asians are known to be smart with their money and the Chinese in particular, are good with economics...so one hardly sees a Chinese begging for food or tinkering at a huge trash bin in a corner. I have seen at least only two blacks (man and woman) in their 50's, very loud, moving around in circles and walking aimlessly along Broadway after husband and I had an Italian dinner two nights ago. Otherwise, Broadway has remained to be utterly Chinese in terms of ah, territorial grounds.
