Karen Chen, Chinese Progressive Association executive direction, announced Super Tuesday March 3 primary result in Massachusetts. Former Vice President Joe Biden came on top, earning 36 delegates followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 29 delegates. Elizabeth Warren came in third place in her home state, gaining 23 delegates, before dropping out March 5. The average turnout rate at the two voting precincts for Chinatown is 32.4 percent. Chen encourages residents to vote in all future elections and is hoping for a better turnout rate in November.

Fortune teller Shannon has opened her location at 42 Beach Street. She is applying for a zoning change at the location. The store will open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. A resident from the building said she will need to attend a building board meeting to discuss the issue.

Restaurant Shabu-zen is adding cordials to its current beer and wine license, meaning it can serve flavored alcohol such as soju but not any hard liquor, said its owner.

Co-owner of El Jefe’s Taqueria John Schall announced the restaurant has been licensed to open until midnight. He will apply for another license to stay open until 2 a.m. in eight months. When questioned regarding noise and safety, Schall promised to earn the trust of residents in these eight months. The restaurant can seat 36 people and opening night will be March 28.
