Charlie Low's Forbidden City

Found this really great "jumbo" sized post card yesterday while scavangin' through a massive pile of old paper stuff at the antique mall. Charlie Low's Forbidden City was a Chinese nightclub and cabaret that opened in San Francisco, CA in the late 30's. And seriously, it has such an incredible amount of fascinating pop-culture related background information, not to mention all the historic Chinese-American firsts attributed to it, it would just be easier if you clicked this wiki link HERE and read about everything instead of me re-typing it all out. Also, google photos has a huge assortment of dynamite images of dancers and other random performers, ads, menus, etc...





I'll have another vintage nightclub post up next!
