The arch was added in 1986. There are several Chinese restaurants and bakeries, a handful of tchotchke shops, and one large apartment building that's almost entirely Chinese residents. It's not nothing, but it's not much. It's also worth noting that among Chinatown's two main commercial streets, H Street is more local and more Chinese than 7th Street.

Anyway, here's a little of that.
