(Oriental music plays) VL: The majority of the population is in Eugene is definitely more Caucasian than any other ethnic race. So yes, that menu is purposely designed to cater towards the Caucasian populations. And Of course that is marketing strategy. And you have to do what you have to do. You have to cater to your demographic’s needs and that’s what those are. Cash register rings |

VL: There’s a lot of memories here that myself and my kids had in here. For example um all of the family gatherings we have for Christmas, all the family gatherings we have for holidays, thanksgivings, Chinese new years, celebrations, birthdays. Just lots and lots of memories. Louie’s Village is almost like a kid. Like any kid in anybody’s life, it is hard to give up. |

As far as my parents are concerned when they immigrated here they what you might call deaf mute and cripple. You know, they don’t speak the language, they don’t drive, they don’t communicate, they don’t read, they don’t write |

The only option they have is to work in the Chinese restaurant. They depend on us kids to translate a lot of their um necessary readings and paper works and even talking to other people in English. |
