Stanley Eng Way Naming Ceremony Councilman Basheer
Jones is posthumously honoring Mr. Stanley Eng 伍灼培, a community
leader, with the addition of this honorary street name to E. 30th
Street and Payne Avenue. Please join us for this street sign
unveiling!
We will meet at Asia Plaza (2999 Payne Avenue), next to Li Wah, and
walk to the sign at E. 30th and Payne Avenue.
Mr. Eng (1926-2004) was selected for this honor by many leaders in
the AsiaTown community. He founded and led several organizations
including the Cleveland Chinese Senior Citizens Association, which
still exists today, and he was best known for his work on behalf of
the poor and elderly residents of Cleveland’s Chinatown (now known
as AsiaTown). He spearheaded efforts to provide much-needed housing
for elderly Chinese Americans that resulted in the Asian Evergreen
Apartments on Payne Avenue, launched a meal program serving over 50
seniors per day at Li Wah, and led English language courses at the
Cleveland Chinese Christian Church.
