Shops like this one in Joburg remind me of Wal-Mart where you can buy yogurt, a hamster, and a gun, but here they really do nix all the stuff in between. Would you like to buy a microwave or a hair extension? The art of selling whatever you can get your hands on… They should pair up with the lady down my block in Chinatown who sets up a shopping cart on the sidewalk and sells tofu and bras. Another winning combo! The Dadaists would love them haha.

this reminds me of an intriguing joint down in Ft. Lauderdale. it was a hole in the wall with the decrepit sign: “Chinese Food, Italian Subs, Sushi/Jazz, Checks Cashed”
nice.
