Everything is crumbling around them beneath their feet. A once thriving ethnic area now looks like a bombed-out war zone. There are 2 businesses left.

Chaldeans settled here from Iraq, twice getting big donations from Saddam Hussein to help with a church and an ethnic center next door. (Coleman Young gave Saddam the key to the city.)

Those days are long gone. Talk about a food desert.

“I sometimes open at 9 and close at 5 without one customer coming in.”
