The lanterns, also a popular tourist photo op, are an iconic part of San Francisco. And with many of them torn and taken down, the community is looking for any donations to help replace them.
Many of San Francisco Chinatown's red paper lanterns were destroyed from the storms, and now the community is in need of donations to replace them.An iconic part of San Francisco's Chinatown took a big hit during the recent storms. Many of the beloved red paper lanterns hanging over Grant Avenue were destroyed from the hail and strong winds.
"It's a downpour that we never suspected that would tear the red lanterns in shreds," Eva Lee, the Chinatown Merchants Association board of director, told ABC7 News. "As you can see, they're in pretty bad shape." The group said they had to take down an entire block of the lanterns because they were so damaged. The ones still hanging look tattered and torn. They are now asking the community for donations to help replace the delicate lanterns. They've partnered with the nonprofit BeChinatown and"We really need community support," Jenny Chan, the associate director of the Chinatown Merchants Association, said.
Chan said each strand of lanterns, including the cost of labor to install, costs roughly $1,000. And they need to replace three blocks worth of them. She's hoping people will "Adopt a Lantern" for $150 or whatever people can manage.It's a cost, they say, is worth it.
