Vacant Commercial Spaces

June 4, 2008 by Chinatown Blogger.

Every now and then, the Chinatown Blogger likes to walk around Chinatown to check what’s happening. Today while taking a tour, a few vacant commercial spaces were noticed. The vacancies may be due to many different reasons: high rents, bad location/proximity to Combat Zone, declining sales, or the business relocated. The examples below are only a snapshot of what’s happening and the vacancies represents only a fraction of all the businesses that continue to operate in Chinatown. Some of these place may even find a new lease on life when some business or entity decides to move in. In the meantime, as long as these commercial vacancies exist, economic activity in the community is reduced and the spaces are prone to vandalism and graffiti.
