"The East Gate marks the Broadway entrance to New Chinatown. The gate, erected by Y.C. Hong in honor of his mother, is also known as the Gate of Maternal Virtues, and the four Chinese characters across the top of the gate translate as ""The spirit of Meng and Ow." Meng and Ow were famous Chinese mothers. A parking lot can be seen on the left and Gin Ling Way is on the right. The Chop Suey sign is for Tuey Far Low located at 436 Gin Ling Way. On the far right is the Forbidden Palace at 449 Gin Ling Way. The Hill Street (Castelar at the time) gate can be seen in the distance on the right." 1939.
