...a beautiful day for a neighbor, would you be mine? Could you be mine? You know how the song goes folks. It was a really beautiful day in Washington DC. When I had some time I wandered on to the streets of Bloomingdale to document. Today's picture is of Flagler Market. Flagler is less than a block from my house, and is definitely the sketchiest corner store in the surrounding area. Just to give you a taste, they have about 8 refrigerated cases, of which only about 3 actually work and refrigerate things. The others just hold the drinks. Even better, one of the refrigerators has a door but no glass, so you can reach into the thing and get a drink without opening the door. Got to love it!
Another reason Flagler Market is sketchy, the staff exercises white privilege for you. They have a sign posted "No credit for anyone," and I have watched them turn people away for being a few cents short. But when I go in, and I'm significantly short of money, they say, "Oh, no problem, you bring it next time." And I am not a regular at the store at all, not even once a month. Sad but true...what you gonna do?
