Below is the identical view taken in April of 2010. Many of the buildings in the 1910 view remain.
Wo Hop
Looks like about 3 or 4 doors down from current Wo Hop restaurant (if you're a cop, fireman or fat guy like me, you'll know)
Soy Kee, Sing Lee, Wing Tong
The steeple seen in the top right is still there. The names on the restaraunts have changed. No more Soy Kee or Sing Lee, or Port Arthur. Wing Tong anyone?
I'll take Manhattan
And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July,
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.

Mott Street Today
Well, on Google Street View you can see a couple of these buildings. I think the Google driver was doing about 50mph though.
