I walk a few stores down to the next deli grocery (there are two!) and while the atmosphere seems to be more promising, there is little to see. There is a deli in the back behind the conversations, but no attendants or attendees. I feel strange eavesdropping on the exchange of days happening in line.

A familiar location! I enter the family dollar and walk around to find a souvenir. 5$ t-shirts and balloons next to roach spray are my only luck.

I walk across the street towards the advertised "deli/grocery." Almost no one is here. In the back, a man works behind the meat counter talking to himself and unattentive to those around him-- myself being the only lingering customer.

I walk around to the back entrance to tropical fresh! Theres a big grim parking lot and an entry way covered by plastic string. Everyone looks up from their carts and smiles or nods. I make my way to the corner where men are powerwashing long silver fish. I buy a mango. The cashier tells me he likes my sweatshirt.

I walk into city drug and give my bags to the cashier at the counter. I walk through aisles of perfume and bandages and paper towels towards the back pharmacy counter. Nothing here for me, but everyone smiles and nods.
