I like this night capture, I have been there many times when I lived out there, relatives would come to visit, and a tour of Chinatown was a must.

Smiles ... It looks like a delicious dive of daring doings ... or just plain fun.

That is some front portal!

Terrific night shot and capture of ambiance.

Excellent low light capture, Ted, with no appreciable noise to be seen. With the inclusion of the guy sitting inside (who must have been just sitting still, obediently listening to his girlfriend rant about work) it's a nice "slice of life" shot. Having designed and built a few specialty bars and shops in my younger days, I'm intrigued by that unique entrance to this place. I'm guessing the actual door is a standard rectangle but, since it's dark, this curving sculpted (plaster, maybe) strip is probably painted white in the light of day but glows light red, like a timid neon, in the light of the sign above it. Cool beans (don't know what that means but my kids always used it for something good).
