Ren's Did You Know ? - The History of Chinatown in Riverside Ca.
Chinatown was founded by Chinese merchants on the outskirts of Riverside, California in 1885 to escape their harassment by Anglo merchants and citizens in the city’s downtown. Chinatown grew and thrived for over half a century by providing labor to the citrus industry, farming extensive vegetable gardens along the Santa Ana River, and through laundries and mercantile shops. The original village of wooden buildings was destroyed by a kitchen fire in 1893, but this allowed Chinatown to be rebuilt with sturdier building stock that eventually included a “joss house” (religious temple) and the headquarters of the local Chee Kung Tong Society. The passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the subsequent Geary Act (among others) served to limit the growth of Chinatown, yet the village continued to serve as an economic and cultural center for its 500 permanent residents and thousands of additional regional workers.

Navigating the Deep Pelagic | Sculptures +Drawings by William Catling
TOMORROW AT 5 PM PDT – 9 PM PDT METRO Art Gallery - Karen Nepstad, Entomologist
I am a killer. I train killers. I am a front-line soldier in an interspecial war of extermination with a brutal deadly enemy. An enemy responsible for more human deaths than any other cause throughout history. An enemy that has destroyed more soldiers than all the weapons, bombs, guns, swords, arrows, rocks, and fists have ever done. An enemy that kills children, the healthy and old without thought or mercy. An enemy that hides unseen in even the most peaceful serene landscapes. I have spent my entire adult life fighting in this war, a war we will probably never win.
For the time being, in my small area of responsibility, we have kept this enemy at the gates, stopping most of their incursions. In these rare moments, when the enemy is regrouping for the next assault, the serene landscapes that my soldiers and I patrol have become sources of artistic inspiration
