Bên lề Đại Hội: Chợ Việt Nam ở San Jose
Sunday, 13. July 2008, 10:29:02
San Jose rất đông người Việt Nam, khoảng trên 100,000 người. Khu chợ Việt Nam ở đây rất lớn, bao gồm nhiều khu buôn bán (Mall) khác nhau. Tới dự Đại Hội Trùng Phùng thế giới cựu học sinh Vỏ Trường Toản Saigon tại San Jose, Thầy-Trò tôi rủ nhau đi thăm chợ Việt Nam nhiều lần, ăn uống hội ngộ với các Thầy Cô và bạn hửu từ nhiều quốc gia khác đến đây trong dịp Đại Hội kỳ IV năm 2008.
Xin chia sẻ một vài hình ảnh quang cảnh chợ Việt Nam ở San Jose (Chợ Củ, khu Lions) ..
Vợ chồng VTT Thống thường đến đây khiêu vủ nhiều lần trong tuần. Sàn nhảy rất rộng..
Tại quán bò 7 món Ánh Hồng, hội ngộ với vợ chồng Cô Sang từ Canada qua. Thầy-Trò tôi có VTT Thống, VTT Tiến, VTT Khôi, và nhiều VTT khác..
Trước cửa tiệm Bò 7 món và studio L'Amour. Khá thơ mộng đối với một người từ New York tới như tôi chỉ có chợ Tàu không có một chợ Việt Nam riêng biệt..
“Comprising some 90,000 residents, about 9% of the population, San Jose's Vietnamese community is comparable to the one in Orange County. San Jose has more Vietnamese residents than any single city outside of Vietnam. Vietnamese language radio programs from Orange County are rebroadcast in the region. Although the Vietnamese-language edition of the San Jose Mercury News is now discontinued, many other publications offer Vietnamese literature enjoyed by the community. Several shopping malls on Tully Road cater to Vietnamese tastes, such as the popular Grand Century Mall (Grand Century Mall is actually on Story Road, parallel to, but about 2 miles north of, Tully. While there are some references to Vietnamese shops along Tully, Story Road is where Vietnam Town is being built and Kelley Park borders Story). The popular Lee's Sandwiches (a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich chain eatery) as well as the semi-authentic Vietnamese pho chain Pho Hoa Restaurant had their first locations here. The Vietnamese community in San Jose is more fully integrated into the local community, and as a result not as high-profile as other places.
The Vietnamese community of San Jose has been politically divided over the naming of the business district, with various groups favoring "Little Saigon", "New Saigon", and "Vietnamese Business District". Non-Vietnamese businesses and residents, as well as the San Jose Hispanic Chamber of Commerce have also opposed the name "Little Saigon". In November 2007, the San Jose City Council voted 8-3 to choose the compromise name "Saigon Business District", resulting in ongoing protest, debate, and an effort to recall city council member Madison Nguyen, who proposed the name "Saigon Business District".
On March 4, 2008, after a public meeting in which more than 1000 "Little Saigon" supporters participated, the city council voted 11-1 to rescind the name "Saigon Business District", but stopped short of renaming it.
San Jose has also granted the building of the Viet Museum in Kelley Park next to the City Historic Museum. The Viet Museum had its grand opening August 25, 2007.”
