Happy Chinese New Year! Arf!

[shalanna]

Today is the Chinese New Year's Day. I had no idea--I thought it would be sometime in February. Must be sure everything is auspicious!

We didn't go visit family this weekend because of the other various and sundry crises, but will go next weekend instead. Maybe if we went to Little China over on the east side of US75, we could get moon cakes. Mmmmoon cakes.

In honor of the Chinese New Year, please accept this heartfelt ARF!!!

(It is the Year of the Dog, after all.)

Dallas has a Little China? Where?

Unofficial, of course, but I surmise

I'm thinking of the area around downtown in old East Richardson. If you exit 75 on Belt Line and turn to the east (away from Richardson Heights Shopping Center where the late lamented Sun Rexall Drugs used to be), you'll pass through the old part of downtown and cross the old Interurban streetcar/rail line. Turn left (north) on Greenville Avenue/Hwy 5 at the 2nd green light (where the fire station/jail/police station is on the NE corner). You'll see a large collection of all-Chinese language signs on the stores. I call this our Little China. There are various Asian markets and so forth.

If you turn the other way on Belt Line and proceed to the intersection with Lockwood, you'll see a lot of Indian-from-India influence--an Asia Grocery and sari shops and appliances that work on the "other" kind of current and Bollywood video.

I'd expect that if we have a Chinese New Year celebration in Richardson, it would be over there at that shopping center on Greenville. . . .

Moon cakes, eh? Not to be confused with Moon Pies, of course! (grin)

Gung hay fat choy!
