I remember when my grandma's husband tried to start a neighborhood grocery store about a year before I was df'd. This was in my opinion a bad idea. Bad idea being that in a black neighborhood, as stereotypic as it sounds, you won't make it unless you're selling menthols and malt liquors (and I gay-ron-tee you won't make it by letting 60% of the entire neighborhood have things on "credit").
Nope, the WT had to have some kind of influence on how he ran his business. Mounting debts (and the "credit" fiasco) put his "business" under in no less than a year, only to see his former "convienience" (ha!) store be replaced by a bakery.
Shoulda listened to me about the menthols.
