Orlando Vietnamese Americans stop CVS
3/2/02
The Vietnamese American community has stopped the construction
of a CVS pharmacy in its Little Saigon enclave in the Colonialtown area.
After months of picketing to protect thirty two businesses in the middle
of the Vietnamese business district, CVS has backed off its plans.
Vietnamese residents said the one-acre CVS would destroy the character
of the community, which was buying the property from a Vietnamese American
owner. The opposition to the CVS had collected over a thousand signatures
and organized the pickets.
Orlando is home to one of the largest Vietnames American communities in the state.
