Businesses are disappearing in the Mission (photos by Marvin J. Ramírez)
Two people (above) walk speaking in their cell phones in front of two closed shops, maybe unaware of a possible recession in the country that is leading many merchants to close their shops. Below, two people take advantage of a closing sale n one of the stores to buy something cheap.
Corazón Coffee Shop closed weeks before, while the shop next door, The Mahde Trading, Co., closed its doors on April 30.
Its owner told to El Reportero that he blames President Bush for the closing after nine years in business.
Three other stores have also closed on Mission St. between 23er and 24th streets. Is this a sign of a major financial catastrophy to come?
Just please, don’t ask Bush to answer this question.
