Houston Chinatown vs Asia Town

[tddk]

After watching Houston Channel 11 news one day, they had mentioned the phrase "Houston Asia Town". I was saying to myself, what the heck is "Asia Town". It's called Chinatown! If you drive down Bellaire and West Belt heading east on Bellaire, 95% of the businesses are Chinese, or Chinese owned. Most people can associate Chinatown. You don't hear anywhere else in the U.S. referring their Chinatowns to Asia Town.

So get it straight and quit making up these goofy names that turn off people. Houston already has little attractions to attract tourist. Let get it straight.. It's called Chinatown!

Couldnt agree with you more, well said. Kinda like saying North America town or Mexico town.

I think Asiatown sounds corny, really corny
