The New Chinatown restaurant, from Central Avenue
For years, the New Chinatown's distinctive architecture stood out
on East Central Avenue (old U.S. 66) in Albuquerque.
Mr. Kim Ong provided the museum with the following family photos, and
we're glad to share them here.

flanking the entrance are the same ones used as the ceramic motif for
Mr. Ong's story.
