“There’s a low-rise storefront at the bustling, scruffy corner of Moody and High streets. It’s the sort of building in the sort of place you might commute past for years and never notice. About a decade ago, Francisco Mendez started to dream about it.
He was just a teenager. It had been only a year since he’d snuck across the border from Mexico. And in those early days, he’d focused mostly on surviving and learning English. He remembers walking and rollerblading past Moody and High streets ”practicing saying, over and over, ‘How you doing? How you doing?’ People answered! Everybody answered me! And I thought, ‘Hey, this works!’ ” He remembers, too, looking in at Hanlon’s, a family-owned shoe store that had occupied the corner for nearly a century.”
Thanks, Susan for the tip.
