Chapter 01

Two chairs, 1998

Walt Ashby bought two chairs from a closing shop in Rogers, laid a green tile floor himself and opened the door on Dickson Street with forty dollars in the till.

The flood year

In 2008 the storm drains backed up and the shop took six inches of water. Customers showed up with shop vacs. The floor survived; so did the shop.

Desmond Cole walked in for a haircut in 2013 and asked for a job. Walt made him sweep for three months before he touched a clipper.
