Unlike the ethnic merchants in Greek Town, or the Pilsen, in Korea Town the Korean shops are everywhere interspersed with American, Hispanic, and other kinds of merchants. Despite diminished density of the Korean population (only 3% Korean-speakers), the Korean presence is nonetheless strong here and spills over into communities for many miles in every direction. < Korean signage along Lawrence Avenue, here given the honorary name of "Seoul Drive".
