For Chinatowns, Japantowns, K-Towns, and other Asian-American communities in the United States, the only constant these days is change. But our need for cultural connection remains the same. In this episode of “Mid Pacific,” Sarah goes on a tour of one of the oldest Chinatowns – in San Francisco – and meets with a woman who grew up there. Meanwhile, Associate Producer Jireh Deng visits a vibrant Cambodia Town in Long Beach to discover how some newer neighborhoods are filling this need for multiple generations.
