Default New chinatown in SLC

This looks promising:

Is this a Chinatown or a strip mall with Asian stores? I'm not familiar with the area very much, so perhaps there are already a lot of Asian businesses, residents in the area?

I guess either way, it is a step in the right direction.

To quote my Polish coworker: "The Chinese do not immigrate. They colonize."

I have seen the plans for this project. It is nothing more than manufactured culture complete with a cheesy Chinese gate at the entrance. That said, it will be nicer than what is currently in that area.

The new mall is geared toward not only the area's Asians, but everyone else is welcome, too.
Hey, Thanks! Very nice of the developers.
