Santa Cruz’s Dragon Gate tells the story of the city’s forgotten Chinese American history along the San Lorenzo River. A short film from the Coastal Watershed Council traces Santa Cruz’s five Chinatowns, the last of which was destroyed in the 1955 flood, and highlights the monument now standing at Chinatown Bridge as a reminder of the people who helped shape the city. The article also connects that history to today’s riverfront revival, including Laurie Egan of Coastal Watershed Council speaking at New Tech at River Row.
