South Central, Los Angeles–Growing up, I remember several Black businesses along Broadway in South Central. They have all literally faded, replaced with stores owned by the Latinx community. Still standing however, is Neely’s Educational Materials & Supplies store. I had to pull up and support. I am so glad to see Neely’s on 59th and Broadway is still standing even through the pandemic!
