As first proposed, Little Bangladesh "would have cut a half-mile swath through the heart of the nation's largest Korean enclave," says AP writer Amy Taxin. Now, "both sides have agreed to create Little Bangladesh on the fringe of Koreatown instead of within its core. But the actual boundaries are still being debated..."
