California Author Series: Belle Yang

. . . With the determination to redevelop Chinatown, Salinas organizations and students from California State University, Monterey Bay, who teach the homeless how to grow sustainable gardens, are slowly seeing a revival. . . .Their intention is to make this area a safe, livable, pedestrian-friendly mixed-use development with the old Republic Cafe at its heart, to become a museum where stories can be passed down in a continuum from old-timers to another generation. – Sacramento Bee, Oct. 16, 2011
