Is Chinatown becoming a cool
place to live?
|
|
"No ... Isn't there a lot of prostitution, drugs and poverty in Chinatown?"
|
"No. There's still a lot of corruption there, and I don't feel safe, even with HPD around."
|
"I have no idea. I don't go there."
|
Have you done anything to prepare
for a hurricane?
|
|
"We bought canned food and water, and we checked our first aid kit and everything in our house."
|
"Yes. My parents taught me always to be prepared, so in our basement we have everything necessary."
|
"Yes. We bought a lot of Dasani water and canned goods."
|
What's the top price you'd pay to see
an act, and who would it be?
|
|
"Black Eyed Peas. The most I'd pay would be $200."
|
"I'd pay $200 but it would have to be someone on the level of Giacomo Puccini -- something classical and educational."
|
"I would pay $1,000 to see (John Berger) do the last scene in "The Full Monty" where they take off their hats."
