Old Chinatown in cultural center exhibit Posted in the Contra Costa Times on Friday, October 22, 2004 Written by Staff Writers A permanent exhibit of new findings about the rediscovered 19th Century Chinatown on San Pablo Avenue is now open at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, 388 9th St., Suite 290. Prior to the site being redeveloped for the city-subsidized Uptown Project, archaeologists will search for and study archaeological remains of the old Chinatown. The exhibit, presented by UptownChinatown.org, aims to help let people know about the upcoming archaeological work, what might be at stake, and how they can have a voice in deciding the outcome. Curated by archaeologist Anna Naruta, a founding member of UptownChinatown.org, the OACC-hosted exhibit expands on a commemoration of the early pioneers at the very site of the Chinatown, in a mini-display in the 120-year-old storefront at 1972 San Pablo Ave. Oakland Asian Cultural Center hours are: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. For more information, go to www.UptownChinatown.org. Contra Costa Times
