The New Buckingham Restaurant and Club appears to have disappeared, but its name pointed me to the Buckingham Building at the corner of Nathan and Ning Po Streets. Lo-and-behold the "Jade City" Karaoke Niteclub (翡翠城) - the sign with the pink writing on the left of the third image - is still around. These places have extreme longevity because most often than not they are owned and run by triads. Let's face it, if you're the landlord of this building, are you brave enough to raise their rent?
