"Swinging Chinatown: The Golden Age of Chinese Nightclubs"
 
   Interesting exhibit starting later this month on the Chinese nightclubs in Chinatown before the Strip Clubs dominated the scene in the 60's.

More info: http://www.sfhistory.org/index.php?pageid=20#swing

"From the late 1930s to the early 1960s, Chinese nightclubs flourished in San Francisco's Chinatown. Clubs like the Chinese Skyroom, the Shangri-La, and the Forbidden City, were the first - and in those days the only - venues for talented Asian performers."

Grandfather told me about those days. Roger's & Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song got the ideal from that era. Like the Jazz in the Fillmore & the Mambo music the Mission during that time was also rolling. San Francisco or bay area was always a little bit ahead of the rest of the country as far as trend setting.

Does anyone remember the hookers who used to work the corner of Clay/Kearney Streets, around the early-mid 80s?

Yes. Swarming around Portsmouth Square, Bars along Grant to Broadway & Holiday Inn. Fond memories of making a selection along Bella Union & the Int'l Hotel. For me it was the mid 70's & most were non-asians there, the asians worked in the shops.

The Great Star Theater too on Jackson that was like .50Cents to 1.00 for two movies.
Bella Union on Kearny was much smaller.."Kangs flying lantern".
So where have all of these girls gone?

Petite asian lover

Saw a show on PBS (Channel 9) a while back on the World's Fair on Treasure Island. They mentioned the show they had there and interviewed a Chinese American woman who did a topless performance. That was quite special back then. And she had aged gracefully, too.

   azzze.

oh yes, if i remember correctly, many many decades ago, when i was young, this guy chased me at the corner of grant and clay, all because i got a dance first with that hawt asian bar girl at lipo. i almost got my butt kicked by this asian guy. luckily, i ran down the street faster than he, and he was running in circles around me, and could not get his hands on me. i dodged a bullet there.

These clubs were popular in SF and NYC Chinatowns, not unlike finding sistahs in the Cotton Club.
