Seems the Koreans were moving into inner city neighborhoods, buying convenience stores. They'd work their asses off, and have mom, dad, kids, grandma and grandpa all working. When I started selling Crisco in Watts in 1958, all the small groceries were Chinese. When they were burnt out in the 65 riots, they sold to the Koreans. Who were burnt out in the 92 riots.

We inadvertently found something out by visiting a street fair (U District) years ago )we've gone several years, and it's always the same...it wasn't a one time deal. ....We were wanting something for lunch, so went to the food area, and just watched people visit all the different booths, as well as watched the people who were manning the booths..... It was a VERY instructive situation for us...We saw which people worked their tails off cooking and making good things to eat, including whole families from Grandma and Gpas, and parents and kids....to folks that just m.o.v.e.d vvvveeeerrrryyyy s-l-o-w-l-y. It was that group that we've now come to observe whine most often....they seemed to think that if they moved slow enough they could make the customers come in and help them.... Try watching the different groups the next time you go to a Street Fair....
