I noticed recently that the building (13th & Florida) where The Black Supermarket occupies the first floor is having its upper floors renovated (or at least someone is replacing the windows). Formerly this building was boarded up on the upper floors, but I am happy to see that the empty floors may soon be put to use. I know that store, having been there for decades, is pretty much an institution (every summer the owner throws a bar-b-que and invites the whole neighborhood), but I don't really know the history of the rest of the building. I also spoke, on Saturday, with some workmen busy clearing renovation debris from a commercial space on the corner of Florida and Trinidad (across from the not 24 hour laundry mat).
