The Corner Store

I set out to get to know the local corner store owners in San Francisco - whose future doesn't look that bright. The corner store is a melting pot and a meeting spot for life to unfold just as it may have back in their home countries in small villages. It is a stable and constant place that they can return to again and again amidst the chaos of their lives in a city like San Francisco. What are their dreams if they have them and what keeps them coming back to the corner store? My personal corner store owner Omar is a constant fixture that creates a space of familiarity, calm, and trust.
