The following excerpt was taken from CHP’s introduction and event sign up form, which is located in our shop. Additional information can also be found on their website at www.bjchp.org or by emailing volunteer@bjchp.org.
In September 2003, the Beijing Historical and Cultural City Protection Plan, compiled by the Beijing Planning Committee, was approved by the Beijing Municipal Government. This plan is the key constituent to the protection of the historical and cultural districts for the Old City. The plan concerns “historical and cultural protection districts” which are defined as “a specific block, buildings, villages, or towns which have traditional appearances or ethnic character.”

再一次，
我带着我的37号脚丫，
神游在南锣鼓巷。
35°C的橙色午后，
大龄儿童们排着队，
等待着奶酪冰淇淋，
他们脸上的表情，
让我想到了朝圣。
再一次，
我带着我不够近视的眼睛，
梦游在南锣鼓巷，
With respect to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, NLGX & Uncle Blue are holding a little charity event at our shop. The event started this weekend and will carry on until June 1. Some of the Uncle Blue design products are on special sale with all the profits going to charity organizations in China. Thanks a lot for buying his products and donating money!
我喜欢穿着高跟鞋在胡同儿里的石板路踢踏走过，
恍惚的瞬间，觉得自己像个公主。
我喜欢看着那些满是爬山虎的老房子，
挠着头问自己，为什么没有出生在那样的房子里的幸运。
我喜欢端着下巴，望着远处屋顶走过的一只猫，
它在高处冲着我狡黠地眨眼，
那一刻，我和它不能理解对方的情感，
却愿意彼此交付。
With respect to all those affected by the massive earthquake in Western China, we will be operating at reduced hours from May 19 to May 21, the official mourning period in China.
Online donations are accepted by the Red Cross Society of China here, a site enabled by Chinese online payments provider IPS.
大概有很多朋友都不明白我们的NLGX是什么意思。
其实NLGX是南锣鼓巷的拼音缩写。
Nán Luó Gǚ Xiàng.
南 锣 鼓 巷
代表我们生活的地方。
也代表着我们的态度。
大家都知道，南锣鼓巷是北京继三里屯和后海之后的一个酒吧街。

The Chai Sign means Destroy! and is often seen on old buildings that the local planners want to destroy. Sometimes it can be a less than perfect bathroom, or sometimes a beautiful old building.
拆的标志意味着摧毁！现在还是经常能看到一些旧的建筑物上面被无情的扣上一个“拆”字，变成计划内即将消失的绝望。对有些人而言，或许只是一个比浴室还小的房子，而对另外一些人，那代表着过去和回忆。
Our alternative: Preserve and Create… 
Remember these guys?
Well Fool’s Garden dropped by the shop, I met Volker lead guitarist, and Peter the lead singer and his buds. (There were a total of 3 Peters in their German group) They were on a concert tour to Chongqin. While en-route in mid-air the earthquake shook Central China; they were required to turn back to Beijing where they had to stay a few more days. We met up with them, found out they’re pretty cool guys and found out that they’re now doing a benefit tour for the earthquake victims now. Well NLGX supports you guys, so good luck on your trip!
NLGX is pleased to announce that we are back to normal hours. That’s 11am everyday to 11 pm. And on Fridays and Weekends we’re open till midnight!
