shopping in the hood

Clothing store on 16th street & Oak
Throughout the city are pockets of shops catering to the large Mexican Community living in all parts of the valley. These speciality shops are not necessarily clustered with like businesses but offer a range of services to a for one area, all within walking distance of each other. This clothing store is adjacent to a laundromat, beauty salon, tire retailer, two small Mexican restauraunts, a dollar store, liquor store and a bakery-ice cream parlor.

So many hats in there and I can't find one that I like around here. It's been a while since i've had some good Mexican food. Yum!
Also that Mr. Lucky picture is so cool.

Between Phoenix and Scottsdale Daily Photo, I wanna jump on a plane and visit your part of the world. So much color and so many interesting places. A photographer's paradise.
