	Eye - Historic Chinatown desperately seeking revival - 07.04.02
		"Chinatown is dead," says restaurant owner Ricky Ng, stirring Hong Kong-style iced tea in his mostly empty second-floor restaurant at Dundas and Spadina.
		Toronto's oldest Chinatown is in an uphill battle to redefine itself in the face of an aging population, sharp declines in tourism numbers and the lure of the suburbs -- what Ng calls "uptown" -- that continually pull money and professional immigrants to other Chinatowns around the greater Toronto area.
		The propensity for Chinese-Canadian immigrants to move out of the city is a trend that Ng calls "irreversible": immigrants arrive from Asia, quietly set up shop downtown and within 10 years, when they're financially able, pack their bags for the greener pastures of the suburbs.
