Chinatown’s Scammy Buddhist Temple
There’s a new Buddhist temple in Chinatown and I don’t know what to make of it. Is it a legit temple? Maybe. Is it scammy? I think so. Thus, I’m here to write about this temple in hopes that it will enlighten anyone visiting Chinatown, especially those on the extra curious or nosy side of the spectrum.

Chinatown: Golden Dragon Parade and Frank Romero’s Art
Los Angeles’ Chinatown had it’s 118th annual golden dragon parade on February 4th. I had the opportunity to attend it for the first time and all I can say is that it was okay.
For the parade to be the 118th one, I was expecting something a little more spectacular but it really was just ok.It didn’t help much either that the parade didn’t start on time. In a way, this was a good thing since it gave me time to purchase food and find an ideal spot to view the parade.
