About this event
How a buried lake shaped one of America's great immigrant neighbourhoods. William Bialosky traces Chinatown's ground back to Collect Pond, and also reflects on MOCA's own move from 70 Mulberry Street to the Maya Lin-designed machine shop on Centre Street. An hour of real local history in the building it describes, with free admission and tickets reserved in advance.
Why we picked it
Free admission is stated outright on the page, and the subject is the literal ground under Chinatown, told inside a Maya Lin building.
