Amazing project that's bringing some decent jobs to an area of town that needs it! But, why is this in the suburban section?

Shouldn't it be in the Latin American division?

Awesome news. Sounds like this will be similar to the Tenth Street Market. However, the building is on south 33rd street. I don't think South O is considered suburban anymore. Thread needs to be moved to the urban category.

I love this. It's very good news for a neighborhood that keeps growing. I predict those poverty numbers mentioned in the article will decrease over time. There are some fantastic entrepreneurs in south o and it sounds like they're doing some wonderful things.
