The 2010 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco was scheduled for Saturday 27 February. In advance of that parade, for lease store front space at 351 California Street internal link was rented to provide a sheltered area in which to prepare parade elements. At this particular time, the door was locked and nobody was at work there. The place is well worth a visit.
