My Trip to
San Francisco in 1940
4. Chinatown
After leaving the Mark we walked down California to Grant Avenue. Here is San Francisco's world famous Chinatown. There are wonderful shops and the best Chinese food anywhere... and so reasonable. You can get a large bowl of pork noodles for 35 cents.
Do you see the Shriner's Flags at the top of the picture? They are having a convention in San Francisco. There is a Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children on Nineteenth Avenue. It provides treatment for many children ever year without charge.
Every New Years Day the famous Shrine East West football game is held in Kezar Stadium.
