As I walk through the streets of Chinatown, it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the constant struggle and dichotomy of social classes that are so obviously apparent in this area. To me, this wall represents that which is a part of the old Chinatown, while juxtaposed to each side of this wall are trendy clubs…and this wall and construction goes ignored-much like the homeless and drug addicts.
