Living here in the California Gold Rush country as I do, I forget that not everyone knows the names of Chinese buildings - several items in my list are for my China town, the joss house would be an opium den, the Shaolin temple - well, I've always been a fan of the Kung Fu tv show, then there is the laundry, naturally, and the herbalist would be a variation on a Chinese drug store. I've got some Peter Pig Vietnam civilians to play the role of some of the towns folk and Blue Moon have some Chinese figures in there Old West mix. So, a Chinatown is in the mix. The Mexican influence will be a satellite town. But there will be a less affluent part of the town where the freed slaves who've moved west - and those who'd always been free - have settled in. The multiculturalism might be sort of new but the west had a very diverse culture - European, native American, African American, Asian, even some Pacific Islanders.
I do thing I might need a Tong association. Hmm?
