Those columns on Jackson Street in the Chinatown-International district recently got a facelift.
The original column painting project was initiated by the CID activist architect Dennis Su back in 1998 and implemented with funding through InterIm. The current repainting was organized by Urban Artworks and done by volunteers from the community.
