Before 1950
When you pass by this restaurant located in Hempstead Turnpike and Franklin Avenue, you can smell the typical ingredients of Spanish food. If offers food from South and Central America countries in especially from El Salvador. This avenue has many stores such as real state agencies, restaurants, beauty salons, etc., but this is one if not the only Hispanic restaurant in the area. As I mentioned before, in this area most of the commerce is dominated by Italians, so most of the businesses relate to their culture. As you can see in the picture all of the stores have the same design; they use the same color for their announcements and shades. In this area most of the buildings are very classical and simple. Next to the restaurant there is a shoe repair. This store is one of the oldest in the neighborhood. Every day I pass this restaurant and there are never people inside. This can be because there is not that much Spanish people in the area. The second floor is for rent and it has been like that for several months. Few businesses had been able to keep up in this area because of the rent prices and also because most of them are not frequently concurred by people. Many new businesses appear but they do not last very long. Very few people can be seen walking in this avenue and that is also the reason that many of the businesses are not perceived by neighbors. These building were constructed before 1950 because of their history and also because of their designs. Most of them had been reconstructed to keep the classical appearance of the town.
