- Charleyβs mini market is a small business that offers a variety of products, from cleaning products to party rental supplies. It is a store I grew up withβthe store Iβd visit whenever an ingredient was missing, the store Iβd visit every Thursday on my way home from school. In 2009 the family-owned business began as βEmmanuel's Mini Market & Party supply.β It wasn't until 2014 that βEmmanuelβ was replaced with their current display name: Charley. With time, I've witnessed the street become vibrant; welcoming more people and new businesses. With more businesses, the tranquility once cherished was distorted by the bustling people and their cars blocking the streets. While the appearance of the street has changed beyond recognition, the storeβs blue and yellow storefront has remained just like when it opened. I captured images encapsulating the welcoming environment theyβve provided, one I hold responsible for the nostalgia I feel today.
