Welcome to Our Neighborhood

This weekend marks six months from when we opened the doors of our business. Since signing our lease, there have been four shootings on our street in the four blocks just west of us. Two were fatal. (Although one was a store owner shooting a robber.) Oddly enough, I feel fairly safe here. Here's a flavor of the type of businesses we walk by every day in our neighborhood:

PAWN SHOPS




MONEY AND PACKAGE SENDING BUSINESSES



AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING SALONS





INSURANCE AGENTS


OTHER SMALL HISPANIC BUSINESSES




AND A SMALL "MALL" WHERE ALMOST ALL THE STORES ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY ASIAN FAMILIES
